PAINT WHAT'S
HARD TO TALK ABOUT.
I help women use therapeutic art to express what’s hard to talk about, so they can find freedom.

Hello, I am Shelley Henk, RN, BSN
Artist of the Soul
Healing Artist, Holistic Nurse + Emotional Release Facilitator
For more than 25 years, I’ve explored what helps us heal. As a nurse, through my own story + eventually through therapeutic art.
I have a particular heart for helping women reclaim the parts of themselves they’ve learned to suppress—their emotions, voice, dreams + God-given creative power.
Creativity reconnects us—to ourselves, to each other + to the Creator who made us to create.

MY SIGNATURE PROCESS
ARTFUL STORYWORK™
What the body feels, the canvas reveals.
Artful Storywork™ is my intuitive art practice for exploring the feelings + stories that can be hard to put into words.
You don't need to know what to paint.
You don't need to be an artist.
Just start with what you feel.
