Muse Art Studio Classes

"Holly Jaynes is one of the most dynamic, creative and sensitive people I have come across in the creative arts therapies. I have loved working with her and I look forward to the unfolding of her practice."
~Shawn McNiff, Professor,Lesley University, Artist, Author

All classes are held at the Muse Art Studio, located at 2 Margin Street, Studio 202a, Salem MA (upstairs at the Salem Post Office building).

I teach people throughout the life span and they teach me. It heals something in all of us when we make art, from the spontaneity of the young child to the senior who says "I can't draw a straight line." "Good," I say, "I don't want you to!"

Senior Art Studio Classes

Stories To Tell

"My Sister Mary", Collage

Seniors have many stories to tell us. Using

photographs, images and personal objects

shadow boxes are created, where each

share their personal journey.

Seniors also enjoy using poetry and

storytelling to tell their life stories.

Groups for seniors can also be led in nursing

and retirement home and senior centers.

Art-Rageous Women

Goddess Art Quilt
Made by Crone Mary HopkinsLet Your Spiritual and Creative process

Unfold…Or Unravel!

A muse art studio for women to empower themselves and each other through art making, questioning, telling stories and living their wild-authentic-wise life out loud. We create individual and collaborative images about our paths, exploring and actualizing our richest creative selves using the archetype of the Maiden, the Mother and the Crone, The New-Old Woman.

We use a variety of media from clay & collage

to fabric and text.

Individual Art Studio

Find out what you love about art!

I work one on one with people of all ages and

guide them in discovering or developing their

personal style.

I teach perspective, color, form and design,

drawing, painting and collage. I encourage all

abilities as I believe everyone has creativity and

imagination.

BoyZ-Art

We are all artists!

One of the boys with puppet

Boys 7-10 challenge their imagination and

spontaneity in the studio. They create

puppets and masks or create paintings

on wood.

A “Treasure Hunt” collage using images from various sources, illustrate what they would like

to manifest in their lives.

They made a 6' Green Man using text describing ways to save energy.

I provide a variety of found objects and nature material to create sculptures. Some have themes and some go by the whimsy of the day!

GirlsART

Sculpture from found objects

All Possibilities!

This after school studio is for girls between the

ages of 7 and 11. A variety of art modalities are

used to make art from drawing, storytelling,

poetry and collage to found objects.

The girls learn to affirm themselves and each other through the art process, fostering healthy esteem, self-confidence and creativity.

Decorative Furniture Painting

From throw-it-away to fine art!

I guide the transformation process as an

old chair, desk or table magically becomes

your own art that is fanciful and functional.

Mailboxes, bird houses, lazy susans, stools,

boxes, toy chests, even headboards can be

decorated to your whim and color scheme.

Color, design, patterns and images are un-

limited and up to your imagination!

An old ice cream parlor chair becomes a Fourth

of July specialty with historic buildings, stars

and stripes
