I love simplicity...Once upon a time I lived in the south of France for a year, knew no one and could only say please and thank you in French, lived out of one suitcase, made a film and it was the best year of my life. That solitude and simplicity fed my soul and changed me forever. For me, simplicity is a gift and letting go magnificent.
I relate - I had an awful day watching my art instructor belittle students , admonish students , and gaslight students .....yesterday. There is a difference between teaching and belittling .....and after listening to you I realize how right you are , we are in charge of our own happiness and if this instructor is hurting me when I see how he treats the students I do not need to stay , I can get up leave and find someone else .....thank you so much for sharing your experience too
The entirety of the 2020s thus far have been fraught with so many challenges and disappointments that I didn't know just the degree to which I needed beauty, artistry, self-expressive, freedom seeking spirited people to stabilize the yuck out there. Shayna's energy and mojo are so necessary as well as the many others with similar outlooks! Our beingness counts just as much as our doingness, which flows from our reasons for beingness.
True freedom is knowing you can do WHATEVER the heck you want WHENEVER you want! Once I realized, that was the first time I felt a real peace in my life and true happiness. And God. Now no matter what I am going through, I know everything will work out, no need to worry. I love your videos! Thanks!
I wish I could feel this level of surrender. Btw idk if you’re into nyc vlogs but if so, you might like mine! I’d be sooo grateful if you swung by and took a peek. 🙏 Stick around if you like
Shayna: you are a gift to the world! Thank you for being so in-tune and saying such inspiring, profound and insightful things. You leave me in awe. Also, I'm a believer in that "inclination / voice in your head" ♥♥♥
shayna, shayna, shayna. words will never express the gratitude i have for your vulnerability, wisdom and light. it has gotten me through so much over the years. continue to be who you are. continue to make your art. continue to ride all the twists and take all the turns as they come. your art is a reminder of possibility, itself. and thus know you have such a beautifully unpredictable adventure ahead. your future is as bright as you are. and shayna, you outshine even the north star 🌟
Shanya you have been a great inspiration for me for a long time. I followed your art school journey in Paris and found encouragement in my own art journey through your work and energy.Thank you for sharing your wisdom and self reflection ,because most often I find it currently resonates in my life as well. I feel off with the change of seasons and struggle to keep the positive energy running in my life , especially when the sun disappears 😂. I've been journaling for years both with art, personal reflection and basic brain dumping. I love your art journals ! Joy and peace to you dear friend❤.
Yooo! This is so real!! In January I was in a job I was miserable in, in a relationship I was miserable in, feeling so stuck in the place I was living….. scared of the big unknown but knowing I needed to change. Now, in October, I’m living in HONG KONG, on the other side of the planet, cut all my lose ends, and feeling so fulfilled and proud of myself for making the leap of faith. Like damn I did that huh🩵🩵🩵 love u Shayna, and the beautiful lust for life that you embody
This video showed up on my recommended and I felt an incredible urge to watch it. I really needed to hear your inspiring words in this vid. Taking responsibility for my reality, coming back to my spiritual ceremonies, and making time for art were reminders I so so needed. Thank you!! Never watched you before but now you have a new fan for sure. ❤
shayna- i truly feel like you are my virtual big sister lol, anytime i am going through a rough or confusing patch in my life you somehow aways post a video that has some sort of wisdom or advice that relates perfectly to my situation. i can always count on your videos to inspire me and bring me back to the beauty of life- thank you for your continued vulnerability, openness, and creativity!!!! i know it is not easy!! I am visiting Paris with girl friends for the first time in a little over a week and your videos make me so excited, hoping i spontaneously run into you!!! 💓💓💓
“Dream big! Anything is possible!!” 🎯 Your art journal looks AMAZING!!! You have beautiful energy!!! Even your mindfully washing dishes in a tie inspires me!!! Thank you for being you, Beautiful Shayna!!!💜
This channel is so inspiring and so beautiful. I've denied the fact that I'm an artist all my life. I almost lost myself. It's crazy how the world shifts to ones mindset. I've been taking steps to let go of the daily grind and create more art and live more intentionally. As soon as I started to doing that I've connected with more like minded people who give me encouragement and confidence.
Thank you for this video Shayna! The other day I was looking into moving to a new country and got down on myself because I didn’t have the qualifications needed to teach in this country. I felt like a failure. But I’m going to try to find other ways to move to this country that doesn’t require a college degree (if possible) and not give up! You motivated me to find a different way! 💖
Shayna, you look great ✨ I am a big art journal and just journaling fan, it’s been a great tool for many many years now! Your journals remind me of Frida’s. She also had these chunky “diaries”.
it's so funny because i was going to comment you have the purest energy. i haven't caught up with your videos in a while but always nice seeing a snippet of your world. sort of blew up my life in august to quit my job and travel for some months
I agree that we 'live on' in other people's memories. Potentially long after we are dead. I am agnostic, so this is why I try to treat others respectfully as much as possible. I dont believe in an afterlife.
feels so special to be in paris (only for a few days) and watching your video from here. ❤ huge hug only a few blocks and streets away over to you!😊 ✨️
I love how you take something as analogue and arbitrary as a scanner (totally a capricorn/saturnian instrument!) and bring out such moving beauty. I look forward to seeing you somewhere cool like Budapest 😌 and I love your bangs x
i make zines out of collages too!! i’m working on one right now and i made a page last week that says “enjoy the process, let go of the outcome” :”) i love this so much
Love your videos. This year I moved country and I’ve come out as trans 🎉 I’ve never felt so much inner peace than telling people and starting my transition. I need to get back in touch with my art, especially for journaling and experimenting. I also really need to stop valuing myself by achievement, I need to learn to see my own inner worth.
I absolutely love your art journals!! So pretty. Can't wait for your next book project too. Also do you have any poetry or book recommendations? I want to get started on a new book.
Im so inspired to make art journals now. Btw idk if you’re into nyc vlogs but if so, you might like mine! I’d be sooo grateful if you swung by and took a peek. 🙏 Stick around if you like
Your artwork style and the colors you choose are reminiscent of Thomas McKnight's artwork. I was looking through his portfolio recently and you popped into my head!
Hey! I just love your vulnerability, thank you. You encouraged me to keep taking steps in my art. Truly, I needed to see this video. I send you a big big hug and I hope we can one day share a coffee and a croissant ❤or maybe some cheese 😊
hi Shayna! I love your videos and I think you are a truly inspiring person. I was wondering if you could give us some tips on how did you learn French? I know you have been in France for quite some time already, but it would be very interesting to know how did you start with the language learning in the beginning. :)
do you have any tips on staying motivated when learning a new language? i tend to be nonverbal at times, especially in public, and am learning ASL now to help myself when i don't want to speak out loud. i am learning a lot and really passionate but i keep having this negative thought of "you'll never be fluent" etc
Sweet Shayna, your deep sadness breaks my heart. Maybe it’s time to visit your family and reconnect with real things that give you strength and center you. Maybe leave the fake artsy bs world behind for a bit?
Art is an important part of who Shayna is. Also, you can't have light without the dark. She'll be OK. Maybe a bit of romance is what is needed, but that can't be engineered, unfortunately.
@@howareyou857 Art, creativity and oneself one can only find outside the toxic fake microcosm of Paris-Berlin-etc. pseudo-art scene. Shayna has so much more artistic power in her, but she maybe needs to refocus, reroute. She is one of the most talented people in combining painting, sculpture, visual art and storytelling. She is a beautiful soul and woman. Real friends tell her what she has been doing lately is not working for her.

this hair suits you so much 😍
right, with the contrasting black shirt especially, the blonde looks great

I’m not sure how the algorithm brought me here, but your vibe is top tier!
your hair reminds me of when i first started watching u years ago
Your new hairstyle looks really cute on you! One good thing about feeling down it never lasts:-) Hug!
I sense that someone may have hurt you. If so, they didn't deserve you.

I will take "B*tch, you should be dreaming bigger" and "Valueing as much my inner peace as I do my outer accomplishments" into the new year!

Yes of course!
