Meet Shay Michelle

I’m a Listener

Listening with my heart, attentive, open,  and honest is how I go into conversations.

How does this help me to be a better artist?  When I listen I get insight into peoples’ lives, how they are feeling, what they are going through, and what lights them up on the inside. 

Tell me your story

I hear the things you care about, what you wish for or are waiting on, the ways you need to feel encouraged, how you love to connect to your mom or your friend, what you like to do with your significant other, and the hopes you have for your children.

I create art that tells your stories

Whether it is buried deep within the layers of the painting with words and symbols in pen and ink or in the beauty of the colors. Maybe right up front and center with beautiful quotes. They all tell a story.  Your story and my story. 

Being creative has been a part of my life as long as I can remember.  When I am creating I feel more grounded and inspired. I am excited to bring all of that to you, whether it be through teaching, art or simply, encouraging words.
