The first question is, why do I create art? And the , art is my escape. When I’m painting, I’m transported to another place where I can escape the pressures of life and feel peaceful, happy and relaxed. But what good is my art if it’s just hanging on my wall? I want to share my art so that you can be taken to a place where you can relax and escape the stress of your life.
I’ve been creative all of my life but I got away from painting to pursue other jobs and passions in my life, mainly traveling full time, which had been a dream of mine for a long time and became a reality in 2018. Then, COVID struck, and I was “stuck” and no longer able to travel. But out of that, I was given a gift … the time to paint. And because I could no longer travel, I began to paint pieces that transported me out of COVID and into a happy place. Travel and nature have always taken me to a place of happiness and joy and those are the subjects I most often paint.
For me, it only made sense to start with Italy because it’s one of my favorite places in the world. The Italians embrace the concept of “La Dolce Vita,” which literally means “the good life.” If you’ve been to Italy, you know there’s just a vibe and it’s really hard to describe, so instead, I paint! Making these paintings reminded me that what we were going through during the pandemic was temporary, and helped me remember the good things in my life and that one day, we would be able to travel again. My hope is that you’ll look at this print in your home and know that no matter what you’re going through, most struggles in life are temporary (although not all) and that there’s hope, joy and beauty all around us.
Once the the pandemic was over and I went back to “life,” I realized that what was important in life was pursuing what truly made me happy. Painting makes me happy. And now that I’m able to travel again, I want to share my love for the places I’ve been lucky enough to visit. I also realized that life is short and changes quickly, so there’s no time like the present to pursue my dream of being an artist and sharing my art. But, let’s be real, being an artist can be hard. The painting part is easy, but getting your name out in the world and you art into the hands of other people is a struggle.
That’s where you come in! Giving away these prints helps me get my name and artwork out in the world and in doing so, spread the joy that I feel from my art with as many people as possible. I see this as a win/win … you get a piece of art that I loved creating and in return, you can help support me and my dream of being an artist.

Zahrina’s been artistic and creative for as long as she can remember, whether it was making her own hand-painted t-shirts, painting murals on her walls growing up, decorating toy boxes, making decorative art for her family, or decorating cakes and cupcakes for friends.
For the last 25 years, her creative side has helped her build a successful business as a web designer and graphic designer (Web Crafters), giving her the freedom to pursue her passions, which include travel and painting. Shelley and her partner traveled full time before the pandemic, which allowed them to see more of the world and explore new places. And although Shelley has settled back into her hometown of Houston, TX, she continues to travel as much as possible.
You’ll see her love of travel and nature (as well as animals) reflected in her paintings. Her happy place is getting lost in her creative brain for hours on end and she hopes that joy shines through in her paintings!
