Local Athens Artist Shelby Gilbreath

“My calling to create artwork began in Athens with an English Bulldog named Uga, the subject of my first painting.”

Like you, local Athens artist Shelby Gilbreath loves lively game days in Athens. She has lived in the Athens area and, since Uga, expanded her Athens artwork to scenes of the Classic City’s historic downtown, the iconic Arch and Sanford stadium on UGA’s campus, as well as Creature Comforts and Terrapin beer cans. 

Shelby illustrated your Athens game day stories for Mayor’s new Goin’ Back to Athens Town polo & Goin’ Back to Athens Town quarter-zip. Shelby’s wearable artwork radiates the essence of Athens game days wherever you wear it.

In a series of hand-painted watercolors, Shelby chose a classic style for the red, black and white motifs of the Athens game days you love to release the emotions of your story with unparalleled detail, as if you, the Mayor of Athens, are there, in the story: 

Traversing the classic downtown, between the bars, tailgates and campus with an endless list of your extended football family.

WOOFing & yelling glory, glory with ninety-three-thousand of your closest friends until the chapel bell rings. 

Having a grand old time bar-hopping with your old college crew for another few hours of behaving like twenty-year-olds.
