When a local artist handed a finished portrait of Ole 60 to Dustin “Catfish” Fuqua, she never expected it to end up traveling the country. Now, that painting has a permanent home on the band’s tour bus. Meet Shelby Satterfield and learn how you can get your hands on some of her incredible artwork.
As someone who spent years in honors arts programs and minored in art in college, Shelby’s dedication really hits home for me. Art has a funny way of sticking with you, even when life takes you in a different direction. And while I’m definitely not anywhere near as talented as Shelby, that love for creating never really goes away!
