On today’s podcast I’m talking to the very talented, Shawna Martin.  Shawna is an artist, wife, and mother of two teens, coming to you from Austin, Texas.  As a long-time artist and Lucky Star camper, she got her teaching start at Lucky Star 9 years ago! Then she went on to start a professional career in teaching art to elementary and now middle school students in Lake Travis ISD. A perfect fit for her, since she loves to  experiment in new techniques and work with a variety of materials. When she’s not teaching or making art, she’s cooking, coaching, or driving kids to volleyball, practicing yoga, traveling, or spending time in nature.  You can find Shawna on Instagram: @shawnarmartin Lucky Star 2022 Classes:  Mosaic Magic + required "Extra" for Grouting Project *********************************************************************************** Lucky Star is a women’s art and whole living sleepaway camp that takes place each fall in the Texas hill country. This is no art retreat in a hotel conference room…and no, we’re not camping in tents… we’re actually “glamping” in climate controlled cabins that are built into the hillside overlooking the Guadalupe River, and we’re eating gourmet, chef-prepared food in a dining hall like we’re at Hogwarts!  We’re fully immersed in creative workshops like jewelry making, astrology, mixed media collage, apothecary, abstract painting, writing, sewing, yoga, welding, pottery, and we’ve even had classes on raising alpacas and tomahawk throwing!  No dishes, no laundry, no driving kids, and no deadlines or demanding bosses.  Just a solid five days to be YOU because we believe in the importance of discovering/reigniting the authentic part of you that makes you feel ALIVE and we know that CREATIVITY can be a powerful catalyst for growth, healing, self-care, connection, and just the spark you need to thrive.  When we’re not at camp learning, laughing, making, and singing by the campfire, we’re a thriving creative community of supportive women known as the Lucky Star Galaxy and we’d love for you to join us!   For dates and more information about our upcoming camps, visit our website at www.luckystarartcamp.com.
