Dear Violet

. Welcome to Dear Violet — a snapshot of an artist’s life, shared one sketch, one story, and one painting at a time.

I’m Shelley, a working artist capturing the beauty in everyday life through sketchbooks, studio projects, and gallery work. I started this channel as a love letter to my granddaughter, Violet — to share what I’ve learned, the places I’ve painted, and the joy of making art with heart.

Whether you're an artist yourself, just beginning your creative journey, or simply love watching the process unfold, I’m so glad you’re here.

🎨 New videos weekly
💌 Sketchbook tours, painting demos, art vlogs, and gentle advice from a working artist

Let’s keep creating,
—Shelley
