INVITING JOY INTO MORE PLACES AND SPACES

“I want my work to spread joy…to bring color and light to anyone who sees it.”

Hey, I'm Shelby!

A Michigan-based artist, wife, and momma of three beautiful girls—Daisy, Maple, and Rosie. I’ve been painting since I could pick up a brush, first inspired by my grandmother who’s still painting in her 90's!

My career has been filled with unexpected twists and turns, from meeting Taylor Swift to seeing my artwork featured on a Starbucks tumbler to traveling the country on a converted bus for an entire year. It’s been a humbling and wild ride.

Today I work mostly with acrylic paint, watercolor, and India ink, and my style has evolved to become more impressionistic. The simple beauty of our natural world is what fuels my creativity, which is why you’ll often find me outdoors when I’m not in the studio. And I love giving that beauty new life through pieces that are light, airy, and brightly colored. 

So whether you’re looking for a bridal gift, a new piece to brighten your space, or a new tattoo design, I’ve got a little something for everyone. And it is my hope that my artwork invites more joy and light into your life.
