Sonne Studios

Leigh Shultis is an American Storyteller who lives remotely in Fairview NC. She draws inspiration for her art from experiences she’s had with others and the world around her.

Leigh started beadweaving and candlemaking in 2017 while she was serving as her grandfather’s primary hospice caregiver, and found joy in those quiet, mindful moments. She uses her art to tell stories of hope and resilience; her work is a colorful reminder that there can be beauty in even the darkest of times.

Leigh believes that art is a universal language. In 2023, Leigh created The Maker’s Moment: a podcast designed to hold space for Creativity. It is her mission to build a community that intentionally supports Makers in all of their moments. Season 1: The Women of Western North Carolina, helps women in the mountains share their artistic journey with the world.
