Hi! I’m Shay Michelle
I Teach Art Classes to Creatives
to Learn How to Make Art
With Joy + Calm
I remember as a little girl sitting crossed-legged next to my bed, markers by my side, doodleing and writing down thoughts.
Then, as I grew up, those markers changed to watercolors and watercolors changed to acrylic paint until, eventually, it included the whole darn art store.
It’s been my faithful companion,
with me when things were good or bad,
always listening, comforting, or inspiring.
“gifting myself that time at my art table is hard”
“Ideas are never ending (which is a which is a whole other art animal)”
“I think the fear of not having a style can make a person afraid of just exploring their creativity. Kinda sucks the joy out of it”
My classes help creatives feel relaxed and inspired. And that they’ve been able to do things artistically they never thought they could do.
You’ve got big things to tackle in life!
Gift yourself some art making time,
so that you feel refreshed
to let you take on life
with more peace and joy.
Lastly, please be encouraged by the things you read and see here. I hope you take with you a little bit of peace, some joy and encouragement.
