Michelle Hollinger
Hi, I'm Michelle, the artist behind CShellsArtStudio.
For over 10 years, painting has been my creative outlet and a way to bring memories, emotions, and imagination to life through color and texture. While my professional career is rooted in engineering and problem-solving, art allows me to slow down, express cre.ativity, and create something meaningful.
Through CShellsArtStudio, I create original artwork and custom commissions inspired by beloved pets, beautiful landscapes, meaningful places, and the moments that make life special. My goal is simple: to create artwork that brings joy, inspiration, and a personal connection to those who experience it.
What I Create
From custom pet portraits and fashion inspired artwork to abstract landscapes and statement pieces, I enjoy creating artwork that feels expressive, personal, and unique. I love experimenting with color, texture, and different artistic styles to create pieces that bring personality and creativity into every space.

Every painting begins with inspiration, emotion, and creativity. Whether I am working on a detailed commission or an abstract piece, I focus on creating artwork that feels meaningful and visually engaging. My goal is to create pieces that people genuinely connect with and enjoy displaying in their homes or personal spaces.

My artwork ranges across multiple styles including realism, expressive artwork, abstract landscapes, fashion inspired illustrations, contemporary statement pieces, and personalized commissions.
I enjoy exploring different artistic directions while maintaining bold color, texture, movement, and individuality throughout my work.

I primarily work with oil paint and enjoy the depth, richness, and blending capabilities the medium provides. In addition to oil painting, I also create artwork using acrylic paint, charcoal, colored pencil, oil based markers, chalk, and pastels.
Working across multiple mediums allows me to explore different textures, techniques, and artistic styles while creating pieces that feel expressive, detailed, and unique. Each medium offers its own creative possibilities and helps bring a different level of emotion and personality into my artwork.
