Shelby Oredson is the artist and creator of Broken Paddle Studio, a small fine art and print shop specializing in outdoorsy watercolor paintings, stationery, and custom art. A Minnesota native and Coast Guard spouse, she’s called many places “home,” including Michigan, Florida, and Alaska, and loves finding artistic inspiration in each new landscape. Shelby hopes her work inspires you to seek adventure, to dwell in the grandness of the great outdoors, and to find rest among the pines.

I’m a self-taught watercolor artist and mom of four. Most of my work celebrates some of my most favorite things: hiking, fishing, and exploring the great outdoors. I hope you find something that speaks to your adventurous soul, something that inspires you to escape into the wild and breathe that fresh mountain (or lakeside) air.

Along with outdoorsy art prints and stationery goods, I specialize in custom pet portraits and landscape commissions.

Let’s create something together!

Amazing work, as always! This is the third pet portrait that I have commissioned and they never disappoint. Perfectly captured. Definitely recommend!

I bought two ornaments, one was a portrait of my cat that recently passed. Shelby did an incredible job capturing his personality and was willing to focus on details I found special, I can't say thank you enough. I seriously tear up when I see it and have it on the wall to remember him year round.

Beautiful and such high quality! I am so happy and will definitely buy again.

Shelby captured our sweet boy so beautifully and authentically. We are so moved and grateful. What a gift.
