Maybe you haven't lost yourself.

Maybe you've become disconnected.

You can love God, love your family, have a beautiful life—and still quietly wonder:

Where did I go?

You've spent years caring, carrying, adapting, performing, surviving.

And somewhere along the way, you stopped hearing your own voice.

You don't need another formula for becoming a better version of yourself.

You need a way home.

That's where Finding Beautiful enters.

Meet Shelley Henk, RN, BSN

Nursing taught me to look beyond the symptom.

Today, I bring the heart of a nurse and the eye of an artist together to help women see what has been difficult to name, reconnect what life has fragmented, and come home to who God created them to be.

Read My Story

ARTFUL STORYWORK™

I use the canvas differently.

Most people use a canvas to create art.

I use the canvas as a mirror.

Through expressive painting, guided reflection, embodied awareness, story, and prayer, Artful Storywork™ helps make the invisible visible.

Because sometimes you can spend years thinking about your life and still not see what's actually shaping it.

The canvas brings clarity.

Women don't leave with just a pretty painting.

They leave seeing themselves and their lives with new eyes.

Guarded → Peaceful
Overwhelmed → Clear
Disconnected → Connected
Stuck → Empowered
Surviving → Creating

RESTORATION ART

Shelley’s Mixed-media paintings exploring grief, restoration, and the beauty of what remains.

My paintings follow the same elemental movements I teach:

EARTH holds. · WATER moves. · WIND stirs. · FIRE transforms.

Layer upon layer, I allow the history of the canvas to remain part of the finished work.

Restoration remembers.
