A Dedicated Teacher

Shauna is known for her positive, effective teaching style. Her goal as a teacher is to share the techniques and information that helped her the most in her own artistic journey. Demonstrations are informative and effective, from a blank canvas to an established painting, while sharing her thought process along the way.

Shauna has the gift of being able to describe effectively not only the techniques and philosophy of painting, but also, how creativity informs every aspect of our personal life and world view.

Each and every demonstration gives new and useful information on the process of painting, and perhaps a good story about the artistic life.

YouTube Instruction Available.

Hoping to learn a new way of approaching my goal of effective instruction I have made several YouTube videos. You can find them by searching Shauna Shane Instruction.

A generous and outgoing teacher, her individual, specific instruction make her classes a joy for anyone who has an appreciation of the artistic process. Even more, her students come away with a new way of seeing the world.
