MEet Your mentors
Seth McMahon
Seth McMahon is a soulful engineer of imagery. His art is a kung fu dance on canvas, an expression of flow, and a vehicle to new worlds of the imaginary mind. Hailing from West Oakland, Seth developed his style painting in the studio, in nightclubs, and on the streets. He has performed and taught his art form all over the world. Seth is proud to be a part of a world-wide creative community and grateful to contribute to the medium of painting.
“From the moment I took Seth’s very first class, I knew his teachings would elevate my art. Since then, I’ve taken every class he’s offered. No matter your skill level, I can’t recommend his lessons highly enough. They truly inspire growth and creativity!”
Shannon Miguela
After graduating college with a BFA in art education, she decided that painting wasn’t just the path for her, but a healing force to be shared with the world. Shannon feels that through the continuous practice of understanding human experience through visionary art, existence becomes more meaningful and lucid. As an artist, she views her paintings as dreamscapes, visions that uncovering the surreal subconscious.
With a yoga teacher certification, you’ll also get to experience the magic of tapping into flow state through daily yoga sessions. Discover the magic of unifying art and movement in your daily routine.
“Shannon has became a friend through this retreat. I have learned so much from her in painting, yoga and also from the way she holds space and makes people feel safe..She’s a truly a beautiful spirit, with a huge heart. Her presence and grace as a teacher is precious and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to learn from her and get to know her. Her gentle guidance and encouragement has inspired me to keep making art. She has endless wisdom, a conscious awareness and is an all around multitalented badass creatrix”
