The Virtue of Art Therapy w/Rhonda Shaw :: Ep 62 Stronger Than My Father

Stronger Than My Father Podcast

In this episode of the Mother's Day series, Marcus talks to Rhonda Shaw (ArtbyRhonda) who owns www.themovingcanvas.com

Rhonda teaches others therapy of sorts by painting and creating art.

From Rhonda:

"I was born and raised in Nashville, TN, where I still reside. I am a mother to a handsome young man whom I adore. I love God, my family, friends and Art. I am a self-taught artist that believes every one on this planet has an artist inside of them waiting to come out and be creative in their own way.

I have always been "art driven", sketching and drawing, designing, however, I decided to pick up a paintbrush in 2013, and the rest is history. Because I am a self taught artist, I enjoy teaching others art, as well as creating masterpieces. Whether I bless your home or office with my own art, or I assist you in creating your own masterpiece at your Sip and Paint, it is a blessing to me as well. Welcome to my world where creativity meets vision one stroke at a time!"
