Her sculptures, though stationary, imply thrust through space and atmosphere. Using wood, cast glass, laminate, bronze, fabric, and stitching she creates a world of abstract configurations backed by the shadows of their presence... Shepley's sculpture uses positive and negative space in contrapuntal rhythms - mass verses void, shapes against shadows - as part of the whole configuration. It is this play between substance and its echo that makes her work compelling, original and daring: Her use of glass refracts light and creates a play of the elements; the silhouettes of her forms converse with their reflections in the shadows and suggest infinite possibilities. This is a relief sculpture in a new mode and vision. - Alicia Faxon, Art New England
