"Working with Shelby was great — such a smooth process from talks about my vision to the delivery. Our family loves the portrait of our dog Duke and would highly recommend Shelby to anyone considering a portrait."

ABOUT SHELBY

Art that starts
with your story.

 I started Collectively You because I believe art should feel personal — not just decorative. Every piece I paint begins with listening: to what you love, who you cherish, and what you want to remember forever. No two paintings are the same, because no two stories are.

Based in Tennessee, I work in watercolor and oil, shipping originals and prints across the country. I'd love to create something meaningful for you.
