Shelby is a painter who exhibits nationally at art festivals and established her studio in St. Petersburg in 2019. In addition to hosting an online gallery for her work, in 2020 she created the Creative Circle, an online membership group to teach painting classes and gather a community of artists at all levels. Shelby's work is inspired by her travels and environment, using a vibrant palette to express her inner feelings with paint and bring more joy to the world in a playful, colorful way.
