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!"
