Watch for details as our vision unfolds!

Gleanings by the Way is an exciting Artist’s Journey into a nearly forgotten Journal that was penned in 1849 by a travelor from Newton NJ to Wisconsin and back. Through the eyes (& pen) of a average American, discover a unique slice of our history. The journal will be lavishly illustrated by ShawnaLee to help you to feel even more immersed into the route, people and places visited!

WEDDING PAINTINGS FROM LIFE!

Hire ShawnaLee to come sketch at your wedding!

ShawnaLee will capture living moments that will bring a lifetime of joy. These paintings are more impressionistic in style and will be worked on entirely from life during your special event!

or, as in the case of an artist, some Art Materials!!!!!!!!!

My studio gives a lot back to the community - in support of animals in need, rescue organizations, and many community events. Having art material resources is a gift that supports my studio’s ability to spread the joy of art while shaping our communities and mentoring future artists.

Thank you so much!

ShawnaLee works hard to make sure every portrait, demonstration, fulfilled Gift Certificate etc. are done to the highest standards possible while using top quality materials so that the true quality shows over a lifetime of enjoyment!!!!
