Hello all and welcome to my new website! I love to paint everything from Abstract and Abstract Realism to Realism, in oil, acrylic, and watercolor. I’m happiest when I’m at my easel.
I’m excited to announce something I’ve been keeping under wraps for several years. A special series of products using my digital illustrations artwork. These things take a long time to produce and I’m a perfectionist, so it’s going to be a minute before they are ready for print. See more below:
Goddess Oracle Cards
Over three years in the making, this deck and booklet are illustrated and written under my pen name, Bhudan Kyu. (ask me about that next time you see me.) These will be available for purchase, early summer, 2025. To get on the notification list, go to goddessoraclecards.com and sign up.

About Me
My name is Marshelle Backes (mar-shell back-is) and I live in Montesano, Washington.
I stay engaged in the local art community, I am on the Board for Our Aberdeen, on the committee for ghOST - Grays Harbor Open Studios Tour, 2025 - and am a member of the Harbor Art Guild. I feel it’s important to stay connected even though I struggle daily with chronic pain.
I designed websites for local businesses and non-profits such as Our Aberdeen, ghOST - Grays Harbor Open Studios Tour, Friends of the Museum, Coastal Community Action Program, and many others. But my real passion is Art and Design.
This contact form is for personal business only. Solicitations will be deleted and emails blocked.
I sell my artwork and do commissions.
I am also setting up a waitlist at goddessoraclecards.com
