Ophelia M. Chambliss has been successfully working and exhibiting as a fine artist, and lecturer, for many years. Her work has been exhibited in a number of solo shows, group shows, and several distinguished juried shows. She calls her signature painting style realistic cubism, and paints a variety of subject matters, with variances in style to meet the needs of the piece.

Ophelia holds a BA in Communication Arts and Sciences, and a MA in Communications from Penn State University. She combines her visual communication with verbal and written communication to tell the story behind her work, in lectures and presentations that build an appreciation for cultural understanding. She uses her work to support messages in public speaking engagements that advocate for equity, the arts, community activism, and professional development. Most of her recent work has been in the realm of public art and murals. She is particularly fond of this because of the community contribution, client collaboration, visual language messaging, and the challenge of scale.

Ophelia loves working with youth, especially those in marginalized communities, and helping them to experience success, in things that they create with their own hands, and helping them find a creative means of expression. She also works within the realm of public spaces and big picture art, with an emphasis on public interaction.

As Executive Director of the Kids & Art Foundation, she helps other families confront the disease. The Foundation teams children touched by cancer with artists. Shah founded Kids & Art in 2008 after her son Amaey was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She sought a way to make a difference for her own child and thousands more like him.
