Inspiration:
Shiya was a magnificent being who touched every person he met and profoundly affected my life. 
He taught me these important life lessons: 
1. Be attentive and present
2. Don't be overly impressed with people's ego
3. Trust yourself, you already know the answer
4. Allow joy
5. Occasionally run wild through meadows
6. Just because you can doesn't mean you must
7. When you are unsure where your people are - just howl!

Shy Dog Studio was created to honor Shiya, the artist in me and the parts of you ready to be inspired.
