About the Artist

Inspirations

Shelly finds inspiration from her coastal living lifestyle in Sunset Beach, North Carolina. As a creative soul, she sees the sand, the sky, the ocean, and the story-book history as an artist’s pallet waiting to be brought to life in one of her unique hand-made items. So look carefully because not only will you find the evident nautical theme, but you may also find a reference to days of Black Beard and his buccaneers, or, perhaps the first settlers in Brunswick County, the Cape Fear Indians.

Customers Say

Her imagination is delightful and seems limitless and she has been described by many customers as entertaining when you see her explain her thoughts behind each piece of work. It’s refreshing to see such genuine excitement about one’s work as well as quality detailing (Visit the Calendar of Upcoming Events).

Her range of boutique items is extensive because of her genuine love for what she does. Please browse the menu of items and see what might interest you.

Willing to take on a challenge, Shelly occasionally accepts custom requests if time allows. Visit her Contact page with such a request or with any questions.

Shelly’s suncatcher work has been published in Somerset Home and In Her Garden magazines-
