These fall landscape paintings were inspired by Minnehaha Park in Minneapolis, Minnesota. While we were in Minneapolis waiting for our daughter, Kit, to receive her bone marrow transplant, we visited this park. It was fall, and it was beautiful. The weather was perfect, the sky was blue, the trees were dressed in beautiful fall leaves, and the golden light in Minnesota was just beautiful. And yet, we were in a season of so much stress and unknown. Looking back, I can see how

Create your own puppet show curtain for your child or as a gift for another child in your life! I saw an idea for this on Instagram and decided to make one for my girls. I used a couple of thrifted tablecloths to create theirs, and I love how the different fabrics and colors came together! Supplies 1 tablecloth, curtain panel, or about 2–3 yards of fabric 1 small wooden dowel rod (1–2 feet long) 1 tension rod Extra fabric for tiebacks and decorative details (optional) How I m

"God has always been uniquely involved with humanity in ways that are different from everything else he made. We're made with his hands, not his commands. We're made in his likeness, unlike his other creations.” - Tara Leigh Cobble I've been reading The Bible Recap. I'm currenting in Jeremiah and Tara pointed out this distinction. Our desire to create comes from Him because we bear His image. A Thoughtful Gift My friend's daughter picked zinnias, marigolds, and basil from

Faithfully Made Vol. I "And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden....and out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food." I've been reading The Hidden Art of Homemaking. The author points out "God deemed it important to make a beautiful garden, artistic to the highest degree..." Sometimes I feel like my time is wasted when I spend time trying to make beautiful art or make our home pleasing to the eye. I was given

The Birth Flower Collection was created as a meaningful way to celebrate the people we love and the beauty of the lives God has given us. Each flower represents a birth month, making these prints especially meaningful when collected for children, family, or someone you hold dear. Each fine art giclée print is reproduced on 100% cotton watercolor paper using archival-quality inks for exceptional color, detail, and longevity. Each print is hand-signed by Shelby. The Birth Flo

Be honest… Have you ever wanted an original painting but had NO IDEA how to actually choose one? I think original art can feel intimidating because we're suddenly asking ourselves: Is this the right size? Will it work in my house? What if I get tired of it? Am I even choosing “correctly”? "Where the Light Leads" 48x36 inches Here's my biggest piece of advice: Don't start by asking whether i

I found the prettiest blue scalloped frame for my 11×14 Birth Flower Prints! It’s under $60 and gives you that custom-framed look without the custom-framing price tag. I could see these prints hung on their own, paired as a set of 2, or collected as a set of 6 for a really beautiful statement wall. And because my Birth Flower Prints are made to mix and match, you can create a combination that feels personal to you—whether you’re choosing flowers for your children, family, or

I’m so excited to introduce a new way to collect the Birth Flower Collection! Six birth flowers are now available as 5×7 and 11×14 fine-art prints, with the option to add an 11×14 hand-painted mat to the 5×7 print. The 5×7 size is sweet for a bedside table, bookshelf, nursery, or gallery wall, while the 11×14 print makes a beautiful statement on its own. Each piece is designed to mix and match, so you can create a collection that feels personal to you—whether you’re celebrati

The Insider Collection is back. A little something special from the studio is here again. Sneak Peek This time, I'm opening the collection with a selection of pink roses and botanicals—original paintings and that you may have missed along the way, or pieces that never found their place in a larger collection. Available exclusively to my email community at a special price.

"Dogwoods in Bloom"- 36x36 inches

This afternoon Andi, Kit and I tried out a few of my new birth flower paintings in their room. I decided that I was going to hang the July Birth Flower Painting (Delphinium), but when Andi saw that I had taken down the rose painting, she was adamant that I hang the "pink one" back up. What made me smile was that it wasn’t necessarily the one that matched her room the best. She didn’t choose it because the colors coordinated perfectly or because it was the obvious choice for t

I had the joy of creating this triptych for Kappa Delta at Mississippi State University. I worked alongside McKinley Bridges and WBA Architecture to bring their vision to life. Dogwood Painting The process began with one of my existing paintings—a dogwood piece that they loved. From there, they shared fabrics, colors, and finishes being used throughout the space, which gave me a beautiful starting point for developing something that felt cohesive with the dining hall. Design

After finishing up a collection of landscapes for a commission project, I expected to dive right into the next thing. Instead, the Lord gave me a slower season—one filled with ordinary days, family, and the reminder that not every season is meant to be spent producing. We started the summer with family vacations and then a trip to Minneapolis for Kit's yearly checkups. We are so thankful that her reports were as good as they could be. Every good report is such a gift from the

One of my favorite projects this summer was creating this collection of landscape paintings on paper for a client. They asked me to revisit my Reflections of Light and Dark collection from last year, and it was such a joy to explore those ideas again while creating something uniquely theirs. Commissions are always so special to me. There is something incredibly meaningful about being entrusted to create a bespoke piece for someone's home—art that will become part of their eve

"Magnolias" 48x48 inches

Four new original paintings on paper are now available. Stay tuned for larger magnolias on canvas coming later this summer.

New Collection Coming June 9th!

"Fields of Wildflowers From My Memory" 24x36x1.5 inches Original Painting on Canvas

This year, I was more attentive to the blooming and withering of the flowers in our field. I watched the clovers spring up, bloom yellow, fade to pale pink, wither to brown, and return to the earth. I have been reading a book by Broken Bread by Tilly Dillehay, and her perspective on the physical parts of our lives relating to the spiritual gave me a new sense of appreciation and awareness for the beauty in creation. I’m not sad because the flowers withered away. It was a joy
