Design & Purpose

My name is Shay. I am originally from Spartanburg, SC. I resided in Charlotte, NC a few years during and after college. My daily occupation is in the mental and behavioral health field. I currently work as a special needs aide and I'm an art instructor for Kids clubs afterschool program. I have loved painting ever since I was three years old. I drew pictures before I knew how to write my name. I love sharing my art with others and inspiring them to explore and discover their creativity in the arts. " we are all artists painting on the canvas of reality." -Cristen Rodgers
