Sheleen is truly inspired by nature and walks through the park. She is an artist through and through as she loves to play guitar, sing, and play the piano. Her goal is to work with larger companies to continue growing her wholesale greeting card line and continue creating patterns for fabric companies and kids’ fashion brands.
