At The Open Canvas Studio, we believe creativity helps people reconnect,
to themselves, to others, and to the moments that make them feel most alive.
This is a space to slow down, create freely, and experience meaningful connection through art and community.
Every Life is a Canvas Still Unfolding
A bright, welcoming studio space in the heart of downtown, designed to be a place where creativity and community come together.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Shalisha Loyd
Open Canvas was created by Shalisha Loyd, a personal growth coach, creative facilitator, and community builder with a passion for helping people reconnect with themselves through creativity.
Her work blends coaching, journaling, and expressive arts to create experiences that are both meaningful and accessible. What began as personal healing through creativity has grown into a space where others can do the same, without pressure, perfection, or expectation.
Shalisha believes that creativity isn’t just about making art, it’s about rediscovering your voice, releasing what no longer serves you, and creating a life that feels aligned and intentional. Because every life is a canvas still unfolding, and sometimes we just need a space to keep creating.
Paint a Beautiful Life with
The Permission Palette™
A Transformative 7-Step Journey Back to Yourself
The Permission Palette™ is the creative framework behind every experience I offer — from coaching to workshops to journaling.
It’s more than a process; it’s a sacred unfolding.
Each “P” invites you to pause, express, and rediscover your own truth — guiding you from overwhelm and self-pressure into alignment, purpose, and peace.
Whether you’re journaling at home or joining a group experience, this framework creates a rhythm of reflection to help you reconnect with who you are — the woman beneath the noise.
