ABOUT US
Jenna Shelley launched Beheld in December 2023 with a goal to reimagine and elevate the current market offering of artwork curated for young people’s spaces. She envisioned moving away from the fast fashion of anonymous, mass-produced pieces, and towards connecting families with independent Artists, and a diverse selection of timeless, exclusive artwork.
Growing up in an extended family of painters, photographers, and fashion designers, Jenna has experienced firsthand art’s power to connect us; to tell a story, share a memory, and serve as an heirloom to be enjoyed, carried forward, and passed down. Beheld aims to bring you and your young people closer to the Artist, so that you can feel empowered to choose artwork that reflects your personal taste, values, and ethos. Art your kids won’t outgrow.
Jenna is a 4th generation Torontonian. She has lived, studied, and worked in Halifax, Montreal, Vancouver, and Edinburgh, Scotland. Jenna currently lives in Toronto with her husband and three young sons.
Artists
Beheld is proud to support and work with a community of local and internationally-based independent Artists. These incredible Artists are painters, illustrators, photographers, and craftspeople, and their open and limited edition prints and original artwork make up our collection of exclusive and unique pieces.
A supported Artist community lies at the heart of our company and remains a key investment focus as we grow and evolve. Our objective is to support the Artists that we collaborate with, by sharing a diverse and beautifully curated selection of their exclusive artwork with collectors. If you are an Artist interested in working with us, or a collector with questions about our Artist community, please get in touch at hello@beheld.ca.
