Art that

sets you free

PAINT WHAT'S

HARD TO TALK ABOUT.

Intuitive Art for Emotional Freedom

I help women use intuitive painting to express what’s hard to talk about, so they can be free.

No art experience required.

Meet Shelley Henk, RN, BSN

Artist of the Soul

I’m a Healing Artist, Holistic Nurse + Emotional Release Facilitator, and the Creator of Artful Storywork™.

My work explores the stories + emotions we carry that can be difficult to put into words, using color, shape, texture + movement to make the invisible visible.

I believe something doesn’t have to remain untouched to remain beautiful. Neither do we. Creativity reconnects us—to ourselves, to what is true + to the Creator who made us to create.

WAYS TO WORK WITH ME

FINDING BEAUTIFUL™

A Christ-centered creative journey for women.

Through creativity, story + faith, study your own story—explore what you’re carrying, discover what is true + imagine what you want to create next.

FEEL → freedom to feel.
HEAL → freedom from what she's carrying.
DREAM → freedom to desire.
CREATE → freedom to create and live.

Finding Beautiful™ is opening again soon.


“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way—things I had no words for.”


— Georgia O’Keeffe

MY SIGNATURE PROCESS

ARTFUL STORYWORK™

What the body feels, the canvas can reveal.

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.

Just start with what you feel.
