Instructor: Meg Linton

A series of online conversations with creatives about the state of making. Join Meg Linton, independent curator and writer, as she virtually visits the studios of known and emerging artists, exploring their work, influence, philosophy, and creative process.

Jeff Shelton has been designing buildings in his hometown of Santa Barbara, California since 1994. After graduating from the University of Arizona School of Architecture in 1983, Jeff worked for a decade in downtown LA, then returned to Santa Barbara to open his own office, where he’s become known for his colorful and playful interpretation of the city’s strict architectural design guidelines. To date, he has designed over sixty residential, commercial, and mixed-use buildings in the Santa Barbara region. Jeff also creates furniture, posters, storybooks, fabric collections, t-shirts, rubber stamps, maps and typefaces, and continually adds new patterns to his extensive line of cement and ceramic tile.
