Who is shell?

shell is an artist who specializes in nature and wildlife photography. Her work is intended to be inspirational and uplifting.

Bedridden for many years, without the ability to communicate verbally, shell had lost much of her faith and hope.

Her husband believed that if she could focus on the world’s beauty she would have a chance. He bought her a camera and said “Show me what you see.” Her photography helped bring her back to life. Her illness forced her to take each moment and capture it in time. It taught her to focus on the magnificent beauty in this world of God’s creation in the midst of life’s challenges. Most of her pieces were taken from a sitting position as her husband took her on amazing travels. She shares this with her audiences today.



She is an artist that utilizes many mediums.
