She began combining her art techniques and sacred Kabbalah texts with art instruction, having her students bring their favorite music to help them relax and teaching them brush strokes and colors, as well as use of Sound (vibration), Meditation , Prayers, Psalms and aromatherapy to free the artist within. Her distinctive style of art is influenced by Kandinsky and Klee with a touch of M.C. Escher. She is from the non-objective school of art. Shayna’s art has been called visionary and prolific.
Shayna is a Certified Sound Healer, trained by Chant Master Jonathan Goldman. She has also studied vibrational aromatherapy through Ixchel Susan Leigh, the author and teacher of Aromatic Alchemy. Shayna has studied Kabbalistic healing techniques at the Hebrew Seminary of the Deaf in Skokie, IL as well as continuing the process of Torah study with various pious teachers.
Shayna’s creation of art is very sacred. She has unveiled that her mission in life is to have the opportunity to get in touch with the populace. Shayna’s passion is educating others through lectures, workshops and seminars as well as taking private students. She would love to be a helpful and inspirational part of your life.
