About the Author

Hi, I’m LYN BELISLE (say “buh-LYLE”), artist, teacher, author,
and perpetual work-in-progress.

My home town is beautiful multi-cultural San Antonio, Texas,
where I practice art, design instructional eBooks, run a
popular Etsy shop called Earthshards, and teach workshops.

I’ve taught in person from Provincetown to Seattle to Santa
Fe, and right now I’m teaching through eBooks like this one
(available on my website), and through online workshops at
Teachable (lyn-belisle-studio.teachable.com)

I work in four main media to explore my ideas:

• In collage with encaustic and altered papers,
celebrating anonymous faces and otherworldly places
• In earthenware clay with found objects, creating
spiritual and symbolic “neo-santo” assemblage
• In fiber, with natural colors, wax, felt, tattered and dyed
cheesecloth and digital photo images
• In acrylic abstraction, with intuitive, non-referenced
explorations of form and veiling

The best thing about mixed media work is that the
possibilities are limitless. The worst thing about mixed media
work is that the possibilities are limitless!

I developed Postcards to Myself to help me stay focused and
organized. Please have fun with it!
