Penny’s endless fascination with gemstones has inspired her to incorporate these artworks from Mother Nature into her own art. She loves experimenting and combining metal and stone in novel and unexpected ways to create one-of-a-kind, rustic pieces that have that special soulful feel that only handmade treasures can provide. Penny infuses a bit of her heart and soul into each piece in the hopes that her clients will sense the love that goes into each one and find a connection with the pieces that called to them.

NShipula—Creative is owned by Natalie Shipula. I have a degree in fine art from Youngstown State University. My inspiration is drawn from where I grew up and in all of my travels. As a United States Air Force Veteran, it took me some time to finally get on this path of becoming an artist but I finally made it here.
Being a Graphic Designer full time was my lifelong goal, however, I find my passion lies in painting and photography. While I mainly paint watercolors and they are usually on paper, I have been experimenting with some new surfaces. Today, you will find that along with framed pieces, I also have watercolors on wood and metal.
Becoming an artist came with the knowledge that I create a lot of waste. While I am mindful of this, I try to use as much of my materials as possible. When the demand for framed art became apparent, I didn’t want my cost of supplies to raise the price of my art to levels that no one would be able to buy. For the framed pieces, I search for affordable vintage or recycled frames, I reuse mats if they are in good condition, and for my wooden or metal pieces, I search for items that could have another use. I do all my own framing, custom-cut all the mats, and fix/prep all other materials. I am as sustainable as I can be while creating pieces that range in size and price making it so everyone has the opportunity to purchase an original piece of art for their homes.
Large Vibrant Photography is the best way to describe my art. I am local to the Heights and have been an avid photographer for many years. My art is bright, colorful, saturated, and tac sharp as I control the entire process from taking the photo, developing, printing matting and framing. My pictures are often of local landmarks and I work to show them in new light and perspective through long exposures to encourage the viewer to continue getting closer and closer to discover more that they might see at first glance. I love travel, adventure, and artistic exploration and seek to share my journey with others.
I paint big, colorful flowers. I am fascinated by the repetitive shapes, the colors, and the energy of plants and flowers. They are each so unique and different, almost as if they have little personalities. I love the big bold varieties of sunflowers and zinnias, as well as exotic tropicals like hibiscus and bird of paradise. I could paint them for hours and never get tired of it. I keep my garden chock-full of all these types so I get to live with them and study them. They are constantly making me smile and informing my work.
My art is uplifting and positive. There’s enough heavy negativity these days, so I’m doing my part to put positive energy back into the world. Color saves lives. It inspires us to think better, work smarter, and play more. My art is about beauty, color, and joy, and ultimately, it’s about hope.
