During the 1960's some of Sheldon Fink's original etchings and lithographs were commissioned by the major New York publisher, the Associated American Artists. At this time he was also active as an illustrator, contributing designs to Time, Life, and Sports Illustrated. Books illustrated by Shelly Fink include Jack Zanger's, The Long Reach (1962).
	In the latter part of his career Sheldon Fink lived, worked and taught art techniques in the Berkshires region of Massachusetts. One-man exhibitions of Shelly Fink's art were held at the Albany Art Institute, the Berkshire Art Museum and at the Lenox Library. He was awarded Tiffany Foundation Grants for painting (1957) and etching (1963).
