031 A Spa for Your Creative Soul with Shay Kent

Shay is so full of wisdom and kindness, and she encourages that you create the same within yourself too. After hearing a testimonial about her class, that it was “like a spa for your creative soul”, I knew I had to pick her brain. Grab your supplies and listen while you work…

Shay has also offered a coupon code for anyone watching or listening.

Shay Kent

Shay believes making art is a fun way to feel free, discover who we are, and express ourselves. Her friendly style helps people find encouragement and inspiration through the art-making process in her online and in-person workshops. Her students say that her art classes feel like a "spa for their creative soul". She’s happiest with a cup of coffee or a paintbrush in her hand, making her kid's eyes roll, or taking a walk with her hubby by the sea.
