Embark on a Journey of Art, Faith, and Adventure with Shelly Rae Designs

Welcome to Shelly Rae Designs, where every step is a canvas, each product a fusion of art, wonder, and purpose. Rooted in my faith in Jesus Christ, our journey celebrates the beauty of creation, reflecting the awe-inspiring places I’ve seen and the enduring hope and joy I carry through Him.

Capturing the Essence of Travel

From Midwest Roots to Coastal Inspiration

My artistic journey recently took a significant turn as I relocated from the bustling city of Chicago, Illinois to the serene coastal community of Punta Gorda, Florida. This transition has infused my work with fresh inspiration drawn from the vibrant marine landscapes and the breathtaking beauty of Florida’s Gulf Coast. The ocean has become my new muse, with each wave and sunset revealing new dimensions of wonder to incorporate into my designs.

Embracing an Active Coastal Lifestyle

Life in Florida has awakened a profound connection to nature through an active lifestyle that nurtures both body and spirit. Whether I’m exploring colorful coral reefs while scuba diving, cycling along coastal paths, casting lines while fishing, navigating waterways by boat, traversing nature trails, or simply swimming in the crystal-clear waters, each activity deepens my appreciation for God’s creation and fuels my artistic vision. These experiences of movement and discovery directly influence the functionality and aesthetic of every Shelly Rae design.

Capturing the Essence of Creation Through Travel

As an artist and traveler, I’ve roamed the world, capturing the unique beauty of diverse landscapes with my paintbrush, continually inspired by the One who made it all. Our collection is more than fashion; it’s a living narrative of faith, each piece an expression of gratitude for the incredible creation we’re blessed to experience.

Art Born from Wonder and Wanderlust

Every design we create is born from an experience of wonder, passion, and the spirit of the places I visit. In my travels, I often immerse myself in the natural elements, collecting saltwater, lake water, or river water, infusing them into my artistic process. This not only brings the spirit of each destination into the fabric of Shelly Rae Designs but also reminds me of the unity and beauty of God’s creation.

Our goal is to equip you for everyday life and extraordinary adventures, hoping each piece brings joy and confidence to embrace your journey fully. Our activewear is designed to empower your adventures, whether it’s scaling a mountain, cycling through trails, swimming in the ocean, or simply enjoying life’s everyday blessings.
