about me

Welcome to Shayn's Art Studio! 

​

Owner and Artist Shayn Jones began her small business journey in January 2025, starting as a dot painting artist, becoming a watercolor and gouache artist, and now an art educator and mental health advocate. 

 

Shayn graduated in 2019 from Washburn University in Topeka, KS, in the U.S., where she received a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Media with emphasis in Contemporary Journalism and a Minor in Art. Throughout her experience, she has had the opportunity to serve in writing, editing, video editing, graphic design, and social media management roles. 

​

Currently, Shayn works full-time at a local television news station where she helps with daily planning, writing, editing, and social media. She also currently volunteers as a Board Member for the Topeka Art Guild where she assists with fundraising, event planning, and marketing. 
​

Prior to starting her small business in 2025, Shayn was dealt a hand that she was not expecting, and that was her mental health diagnosis. In 2022, Shayn was diagnosed with a severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) that changed her life. It was a long road for the next couple of years to find the correct treatment and therapy to help her thrive, but eventually she found helpful treatment and began revamping her life. 

​

One of the things that came out of her revival was her art business. Art was therapy for Shayn. She found that when she created art, her mind was quiet, and she could create whatever was on her mind on any given day.

 

Today, Shayn shares her story with the world while creating art with those who may find it beneficial in their healing and recovery process. ​​
