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

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

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

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

"Magnolias" 48x48 inches

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

"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

This painting is a reflection of slow days at home—of small, ordinary moments that quietly become the most meaningful. It was inspired by the little joys: the blue delphinium blooming on my front porch, spring evenings spent outside until dusk, and sweet movie nights with my girls, especially Cinderella, whose blue dress and drifting butterflies found their way into this piece.

These paintings are a reflection of slow days at home—of small, ordinary moments that quietly become the most meaningful. Inspired by time spent with my daughters, they are shaped by walks through open fields, hands gathering flowers, the rhythm of caring for animals, and the soft routines of home. There are echoes here of mornings spent in Scripture, of hymns sung together, and of the kind of days that feel long while you’re in them, but fleeting when you look back. In many

New collection of birth flowers is here!

My Paperwhites Collection is available now! "Blooms of Renewal" "The Quiet Becoming"

This small batch of paintings is drawn from The Birth Flower Collection, a body of work celebrating life, hope, and God’s intimate care for each person from the very beginning. “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 139:13-14 This small batch of work features Lily of the Valley (May Birth Flower) & Larkspur (July Birth Flow
