Hi, I am Sheila.
I wake up spaces.

I’m Sheila Kernan, a world-class artist, mother, wife and entrepreneur dedicated to enriching lives and promoting culture through the arts. With over 15 years of actively creating full time in my studio, I know a thing or two about art.

My approach is rooted in the desire to translate experiences and emotions into relatable works of art. I am endlessly proud of my passion for continually learning and growing. I do not like to stand still as there are infinite  possibilities, textures, colours, and new materials to explore. I obsess over all the details because I feel most alive when I get it right. My vision, that is!

Life is fascinating and endlessly inspiring, which is why my camera and sketchbook are never far. I am eager to document and highlight the seemingly simple things that often play the most significant role in my work. Like the feeling of soft sand squishing between my toes as I listen to waves crashing onto the shoreline. We all share similar experiences, and I hope my work will be a  reminder of yours.

I’m so glad you are along for the ride.

"My goal is simple, to translate moments and memories into works of art."
