"A very talented artist, I would give 6 stars if I could"

"Shelby she took a deep, professional, investigatory interest into our love of art and the particular genre we are drawn towards to ensure our commission lived up to expectations. She kept in contact with us throughout the time she was bringing ‘Kate’ to life and the piece was certainly worth the wait. She blew us away with the detail and finishing personal touches. Our ‘Kate’ surpassed all our expectations and we are truly in love with this painting. What a talent!"

"I commissioned a surprise painting for my wife of our wedding day. Shelby was a joy to work with. We had several consultations to develop the idea, with Shelby’s creative input being invaluable. The painting is an outstanding piece of art which was delivered on the date we agreed. I can’t thank Shelby enough, and would give 6 stars if I could."

"I would highly recommend commissioning a piece of art with Shelby. I lost my beloved horse after 16 years and I commissioned Shelby to paint him. She produced such a beautiful piece of artwork. I am absolutely over the moon with the finished product. It is just like looking at him in real life. The detail just makes me want to reach out and touch him. Shelby is such an amazing talented lady who really showed how much she cared making sure the piece represented my beautiful boy perfectly. You can see that she had poured her love into the painting. Absolutely amazing! One in a million, capturing special moments."

“Thrilled to own a limited edition Shelby Newstead Marilyn Monroe print. As avid lovers of black and white art, this piece has exceeded our expectations. The quality and attention to detail is exceptional. It has stolen the spotlight in our home, never failing to catch people’s attention. Undoubtedly our favourite art deco yet, we cannot wait to grow our collection.”

"Shelby is such a talented and versatile artist. Her service is excellent, she takes the time to understand your vision and offers ideas she feels will work. I was blown away with the piece of art she created for me and am already thinking of the next piece for us to commission!"

"Shelby is an astonishing artist, with the most breathtaking talent. We had the most beautiful painting created for our one year wedding anniversary. I was absolutely flabbergasted when I saw the artwork. So much so, it brought me to tears. It’s true what they say “the photographs are the only memory you’ll have of your wedding to look back on”. Well in this case, Shelby has brought the photo to life, and added a couple of little touches to create absolute magic. The original photograph has now been completely brought to life, and brings back a million memories. I could honestly stare at the painting for hours on end, and have barely taken my eyes off of it. We went for an A2 size painting, which fills the room perfectly creating an absolute statement as soon as you walk into the room. The attention to detail is phenomenal, and mind blowing. I especially love the detailing on my veil, so incredible and fascinating. We are already debating getting another wedding photo for the upstairs of our house. If you’re looking for a commission piece of artwork, honestly look no further than using Shelby! Our painting is purely a magical fairytale, we are so in love! Thank you so much x"

"I commissioned Shelby to do a drawing of our Dog Ben, for my Partners Birthday from a Photo. It far exceeded our expectations, there was so much detail, the drawing was so life like, and so much better than the photo.
Shelby is such a talented Artist, I would highly recommend her, and will be using her skills again in the future, my Partner was over the moon with the drawing it Brought a tear to his eye when he saw it. Thank You Shelby."

"I’ve gone to Shelby on two separate occasions now and am astonished by the artwork she produced for me and my family.  Shelby took so much time and effort to ensure the art piece perfectly resembled the picture presented to her. I was in tears at the result, it made such a touching gift.
The level of passion and dedication to her work shines through onto the page and I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. She comes highly recommended to anyone looking for a bespoke piece."

"Where do I begin? Shelby has been amazing from start to finish. Her communication and dedication was on top form throughout. She is THE MOST talented artist I have met and had a drawing from, the detail and accuracy she drew of my dog is incredible. Can not recommend Shelby enough to anybody who wishes for a painting. She is the best out there! Thank you so much Shelby, love Emily & little Nelly xxxx"

"My daughter recently arranged for Shelby to paint a picture as a present for my birthday. The result was beyond anyone’s expectations. The picture was of myself and my daughter at her wedding. What a fantastic present. Shelby is amazingly talented, and literally produced an unbelievable piece of art. Her skill is unprecedented and the detail that she captured was incredible. We would recommend Shelby to even the most discerning person, as the work that she creates can only be described as perfection. Thanks again, Shelby, for being instrumental in making my birthday really special."

"We sent Shelby a couple of images of a landscape; pictures of vines at sunset with the London skyline in the distant background.
The colours Shelby used are really warm and she did an incredible job bringing the London skyline closer.
We gave this painting to my sister for Christmas which she absolutely loved, then as it was so popular with the family we requested further prints from Shelby.
Thank you so much for your hard work - you are SO TALENTED!" 

"Shelby created the most beautiful, unique and personalised piece of art for my Dads 60th birthday present. It exceeded all my expectations and was created within a tight deadline which I hugely appreciated. Shelby made the process so smooth and gave me updates throughout. The quality of the work was incredible, I’m already thinking about my next piece to order! Thank you Shelby."
