About the Artist
Original Art
Inspired by the landscapes and lifestyles of the rural South, Shelley's original works are rich with color, movement, and emotion. From fields and farmland to moments of quiet connection, her paintings and drawings celebrate the beauty of everyday life. Her work is available on this site as well as vendor events throughout the Virginia and North Carolina area, offering collectors a chance to bring a piece of that story into their own space.
Paint Parties & Events
Shelley's paint parties are designed to bring people together through creativity, connection and fun. Hosting events across Virginia and North Carolina, she creates welcoming, engaging environments where participants of all skill levels can explore their creativity and leave with something they're proud of. She provides canvas painting, wood painting, tie-dye and face painting for events! Whether for a girls' night, team event, or community gathering, her events are rooted in joy, accessibility, and shared experience.
Custom Murals & Commisions
Whether transforming a local business, honoring a family legacy, or creating a one-of-a-kind statement piece, Shelley's murals and commissioned paintings bring personal stories to life from portrait drawings, animal portraits, to rural inspired-imagery. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to reflect the identity, history, and spirit of the people and spaces it represents.
Beyond the Brush
When not covered in paint, Shelley can be found spending time with her husband of 17 years, Jason, and her 11-year old daughter Caroline. It's a good thing they live in the country, because they have 4 dogs! Shelley is a firm believer of adopt, not shop! Shelley enjoys reading all different genres. She also has a special love for dancing and karaoke. You will also find her at many vendor events in the VA/NC border which are usually a family affair. Along with her husband and daughter, her supportive parents and brother are usually in attendance!
