Watch for Events
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!
Watch for upcoming events!

Painting Demonstrations
BOOK A DEMO!
Invite ShawnaLee to demonstrate painting for your group!
Popular demonstrations include local landscapes, lakes with beautiful hillsides, or pet portraiture.
ShawnaLee’s demonstrations are engaging! She invites the audience’s curiosity into her process and talks about what she’s doing and why.
Starting at $400 for two engaging hours. Travel beyond 30 minutes is extra. Demo may be done via zoom.
Demo paintings are offered at a special price as part of the experience — they capture something spontaneous that studio work doesn't.

Buy me a Coffee!
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!
If you’d like to tip or gift directly to ShawnaLee, choose Jerry’s Artarama Gift Certificates or any way that is meaningful.
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!!!!
Thank you!!!!!!
