Blake Shanley is a multi-media artist, sculptor and author whose expansive love of nature, color, beauty and life inspired a deep study and practice in the art, wisdom and awe of Roses.

Blake’s lifelong interest in the holistic connection of the mind, body and spirit led her to open a health and wellness store in East Austin in 2012, called Tiny Taiga, which she closed in 2019 to begin the next chapter as artist and author.

From her Sanctuary on Santa Fe's renowned Canyon Road, Blake curates complete immersive experiences spanning paintings, photography, textiles, jewelry, skincare, and artisan goods - all inspired by the roses she grows in her own gardens. Each piece serves as both mirror and activation, reflecting the viewer's own divine essence while awakening dormant aspects of feminine power.

"I am not an artist who paints roses. I am a rose who has learned to paint."
