About
Shaping Art

Shaping Art, founded by Ashley Johnson in Crested Butte, is a unique business that blends the worlds of healing arts and design. It's built on the belief that health and wellness are deeply intertwined with movement, nature, and creative expression.

Initially, Shaping Art focused on helping individuals and businesses bring their visions to life through design consultations and brainstorming sessions of branding and user interface design. But as Ashley delved deeper into the world of holistic wellness, she felt a calling to share the profound benefits of practices like hammock yoga, sound healing, and aromatherapy.

This led to a beautiful integration of her two passions. The design aspect remains, evident in the custom-designed yoga hammocks and the creative approach to brainstorming sessions. However, the core of Shaping Art now centers around facilitating holistic wellness and personal growth through a unique blend of healing modalities.
