Shelby is an illustrator living in Leavenworth, WA. She received her BFA in Illustration from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University in 2012. She began her career as a full-time illustrator when she opened her art brand and online shop, Heirloom Design, in 2017. Her Illustrations are both hand-painted designs, in gouache and watercolor, and digital paintings.

She is inspired by life in the little mountain town she calls home, flowers and gardens, wildlife, and that perfect golden summer day.

Shelby is a mom, wife, and professional snack-prepper. She enjoys reading fiction, drawing in her sketchbook, spending time outdoors with her family, and a good cup of coffee.
