Shelley
Magnussen is an artist, pianist, singer/songwriter, comedian, poet and
inspirational speaker as well as a writer.
In addition to these accomplishments, Shelley is also a playwright, actress, director and an amateur photographer. In fact, most of what you see on this site is from Shelley’s hand.
This combination of talents and accomplishments is remarkable in itself. What really sets them apart is that these abilities are possessed by someone that has the equivalent of 1/3 of an average person’s eyesight. When people are asked to describe Shelley in one sentence, most will say this:
“She’s full of surprises and there is NO keeping up with her."
Shelley is lively, quick-witted, spontaneous with a child-like quality from which comes an infectious joy—but don’t let that kid-at-heart exterior fool you. Shelley possesses a great deal of insight, intellectual capacity, empathy and intuition.
Don’t let that sparkle in her eye and ever-present smile fool you either: Shelley has survived tremendous abuse and adversity. She has quite a story to tell about the faithfulness of God that Christian and secular audiences need to hear.
It’s often said of her, “Whatever you expect a blind person to be, Shelley definitely isn’t it."
Shelley is available to speak or perform at religious and secular gatherings alike and will tailor her presentation accordingly. Her versatility, insight and gentle musical style make her ideal choice for a wide variety of settings and age groups.
Shelley has over 20 years experience performing at banquets, parties, worship services, weddings, memorials and seasonal gatherings.
When Shelley is on the stage, your group will laugh one minute, cry the next and come away from your event with a ton of encouragement and warm-hearted memories they will be talking about for a long time afterward.
