My Bio
Shelby Quino | 28 | her/she/that one crazy bitch
Freelance Artist (Varied) | Creative Mentor | Surrealist | Lunatic Founder of Soul Healing Love Magic


The best way to describe myself as an artist is that I like for my work to reflect the viewer's individual imagination, as if looking for visions in the clouds. In general, I'm a Surrealist partial to mixed media, digital art and painting. My technique, style and choices of media vary depending on what I've got to work with and how I'm feeling at the moment. There are words for people like me, but I don't think there's very many.

I have spent the last few years quietly developing various exercises, prompts, games, and other activities for creatives; all designed for the purpose of inciting an artistic process and diverse collaborative dialogue, challenging new perspectives, and promoting shared arts experiences that integrate different styles and media. Part of my teaching technique is to empower others to find inspiration through spontaneous “play,” improvised collaboration, and experimentation; engaging others in an artistic process that allows for individual discovery, insight into what works for them, and better ability to expand upon their artistic skills both individually and collectively. Many artists tend to hold back their full expressive potential for fear of making a mistake.

By setting a collaborative atmosphere without setting limits, and maintaining a sense of humor and fun whenever possible, become less fearful of making mistakes that might stifle the artistic process. Collaborators become more confident in learning new skills, trying new techniques or media, and really finding their flow. Becoming inspired is not something with correct answers, set rules or reproducible steps, so I tailor my teaching approach to the unique needs of each individual that I mentor.

Wow I love your page! Exquisite artwork and I love how encouraging you are to other artists. I'm inspired. Thank you.

Hey there lovely lady. I love you so much and I'm so thankful to have had you for my best friend and soul mate. I'm very lucky. I'm also very heartbroken over losing you. There's a void in my life where you were that will forever remain your space. "Because the paths to the Lord are inscrutable

Because the essence of His forgiveness

Lies in His word and in His mystery

Because although God sends us the message

It is our task to decipher it

Because when we open our arms

The earth takes in only a hollow and senseless shell

Far away now is the soul in its eternal glory

Because it is in pain that we find the meaning of life

And the state of grace that we lose when we are born

Because God, in His infinite wisdom, puts the solution in our hands

And because it is only in His physical absence

That the place He occupies in our souls is reaffirmed"

I requested an artist to draw your trinkets this morning. Think you could pull some strings for me? I love and miss you so much. Thank you for being born as the beautiful human called Shelby and gracing us with your presence. Thank you for all the amazing art and music you left for us. Happy birthday Shelby.

Hey again. Last year for your birthday I did some collaborative art projects with some people that love you and I drank some southern comfort like we did when you came to my house for my birthday that first time.


The year before that I came to your house carrying oranges and cookies and peppermint bark and books and I jumped in your bed and kissed you all over your beautiful face.


Now I don't really know what to do. I feel like crying.


Anyway. I'm really thankful that you were born and I'm so lucky to have known you. Thank you for being my friend and everything that you taught me. I sure do miss you.


Happy birthday old friend. I love you.

Thank you happy birthday

Dear Shelby, 30 years ago today, you were born into this bright beautiful cold terrifying world and placed into a womans arms and she called you. She called you Shelby.

That's what calls you... when someone says Shelby...

R.I.P. you beautiful bastard
