COACHING · ARTFUL STORYWORK™ · CREATIVE JOURNEYS
Hello, I am Shelley Henk, RN, BSN
Artist of the Soul
Holistic Nurse · Healing Artist · Creator of Artful Storywork™
For 25+ years, I’ve explored what helps us become whole—as a nurse, through my own story + through healing art.
I help women come home to the parts of themselves they’ve left behind—their emotions, voice, dreams, desires + creativity.
Because creativity reconnects us.
To ourselves. To each other. To God.

MY SIGNATURE PROCESS
ARTFUL STORYWORK™
What the body feels, the canvas reveals.
Artful Storywork™ is my signature creative practice for exploring what you're feeling, carrying + becoming.
We bring what we're carrying to the canvas—our emotions, stories, questions, grief + longing—and give it shape, color, texture + movement.
We get what's been living inside you outside you—onto the canvas, where you can see it differently.
STORIES FROM THE STUDIO
In their words.
ARTWORK
Shelley’s original works + commissioned paintings
Art that feels excavated rather than decorated.
COMMISSIONED ARTWORK
ART THAT RESTORES
PAINTING · PRAYER · POEM · YOUR STORY
A deeply personal work of art created from your story.
I listen to what matters to you, pray as I create, and allow color, texture, image + symbol to emerge on the canvas.
The result is an original abstract painting + poem created as a tangible reminder of what is meaningful, beautiful + being restored in your life.
