That's my husband and me with our rescue mutt, Brody. I have him to thank for taking me down the path of pet portraits. He was my very first painting - and I have painted over 100 pets since. At any given moment you can also find me painting homes. Those stemmed from a painting of our first home as newlyweds. Now that I have a private pilot husband, I paint an increasing number of planes!
My son was born in 2017 and my daughter surprised us in 2019. I left my amazing company to live the dream and watch the kids grow while painting away during nap time. No matter where life takes me I find my way back to my art. (If you know me personally, you know I don't sit still unless it is to create art!) The wonderful journey that led me to my husband, Hunter, took us from our southern roots across the country to Boise in Jan of 2014. As much as we miss our family and friends, we love the adventure and Boise has truly become home. I thank God for all He has given me and a talent I can share with others! Nothing makes me happier than to know my art has preserved memories for people all over the country. However you found me, I am glad you are here! -Shelley |
