Mary Beth Shaw works in Mixed Media because she loves to play with art supplies. She contends that mixed media is for artists who can't make up their minds. The owner of StencilGirl Products, she uses stencils on anything and everything. Her spontaneous process utilizes pastel, ink, marker and acrylics layered with various collage, texture and three dimensional materials. She welcomes so-called “mistakes” because they lead to wonderful opportunities and discoveries.
She is author of Flavor for Mixed Media and Stencil Girl, both published by North Light and is a Columnist for Somerset Studios. She is a Certified Golden Artist Educator. Living in Wildwood, MO with her husband and three cats, Mary Beth is passionate about every moment of life.
