Artist. Mom. Animal lover.  HS art teacher.

This is where I am suppose to be.  Life is good!

Being an artist is my Dream Job!  I love painting custom art work for people around the world and being able to teach high school art here in Seneca, SC.  

Put simply, art makes me happy. 

I have learned and grown so much just connecting with people through my art!  My customers are amazing, and I am honored that they trust me to paint their stories.  I am also thrilled to be able to give back as much as I can with my art by donating to animal rescues around the country. 

Shaina Kay Stinard is a fine artist working out of South Carolina.  Originally from the Roanoke Valley, she received her B.A. in Art from Virginia Tech.  She is known for her vibrant, crisp, expressive, modern style watercolors.  An International artist with paintings from Scotland to Canada, Shaina specializes in watercolor on Yupo paper creating custom paintings of people, pets and places from photos.  Being an animal lover, she also work closely with many animal rescues, donating custom portraits to raise money for their care as often as possible.
