Lets Connect

Meet Shelley Henk, Artist of the Soul

Healing Artist & Creator of Artful Storywork™

Shelley Henk is a former holistic nurse turned healing artist and educator. Her work bridges somatic awareness, creative practice, and spiritual restoration — translating stories held in the body into abstract paintings and guided creative experiences. As a published author, poet, and painter, Shelley brings depth, professionalism, and reverence to each piece she creates. Her work is informed by lived experience, including personal recovery from trauma and chronic illness. She does not diagnose, fix, or instruct. She witnesses, holds, and creates the conditions where wholeness can return.
