The lady I am shopping for is very artistic and not really wanting tradtional lingerie, bath & body stuff. Do you think a gift card to her fave art supply store will go over badly?

I don't think that would be too bad of a gift but many times for special occasions such as this one, it is better to give a gift that can be kept forever, I think.
Generally speaking, I will give a giftcard for a birthday or christmas...but for a bridal shower or wedding or even baby shower I like to give something that they can use hopefully for a long time such as a picture frame or photo album...
That being said, I don't think a giftcard would be too out of line, it just doesn't necessarily pertain to their wedding.
I am posting below some links to websites that have unique (and sometimes traditional) gifts that might work for just such an occasion

Bridal shower gifts aren't just lingerie and bath products. The gifts are also items the couple can use in their new home together. It would seem that you could find something to purchase, wrap and present to her. A gift card here may look like you didn't want to take the time to find her a nice gift.

Bridal showers r usually for giving the couple something in the houseware dept. they may need to start their housekeeping. What u suggest seems more appropriate for a personal birthday gift. A gift card to a store that sells kitchen gadgets or small appliances or towels and bed linen would be fine.

Put the gift card inside of a funky frame (easily so she can get at it) and she'll get a 2 in 1 gift with some thought.
