The Art of WAX & Fire - Shauna Marie Martin

10/03/2026

Tonight! Free gift for the first 20 in attendance tonight plus unique, collectible, print cards specific to The Mending Project, only available at The Ardest Gallery during the exhibit dates Oct 3 - Oct 31. Come share this milestone with me!

TONIGHT! Join us for the Opening Reception of Shauna Martin's solo show entitled "The Mending Project!"
6-8PM

My work, The Mending Project, is rooted in the belief that creative practice is a form of healing. Each piece begins with a symbolic wound and slowly transforms through layering, stitching, and repair-like gestures that mirror emotional processing. I want people to know that my work invites them to pause, breathe, and see their own cracks and frayed edges as places of possibility rather than failure or end. In this space, art functions as therapy: a quiet, tactile way to tend to what hurts, to honor what has been broken, and to imagine it made whole in a new and beautiful way, but always in remembrance of the one(s) who are no longer walking alongside us.
