‘My art is a fusion of feeling, simplicity, and space. I aim to cut through the complexities of life and bring something beyond painting to my canvas, life is complicated enough. My art offers somewhere to rest, to dream—a calm, atmospheric realm to fall gently into’.
~ Shra.
Artistic traditions run deep in Shra's family, with painters and sculptors who have carved out professional lives rich in creativity.
Shra’s upbringing in the Australian bush of North Western Victoria left an indelible mark on her soul. The vast, wild terrain and the serene quietude of the landscape shaped her artistic vision. Her nurturing mother fostered an environment where creativity could thrive. The house was filled with all sorts of creative projects, with the only rule being that everything had to be cleaned up by dinnertime.
Shra’s paintings embody the same love of space and wildness that defined her childhood. Each piece is crafted with layers of glazes, creating an atmospheric depth that resonates deeply within the viewer. The impact of her work lies in its ability to uplift and evoke the ever-changing moods of nature, offering a visual harmony that connects on an emotional level and reflects her profound sensitivity to the natural world.
Her work is atmospheric, calming, and soothing, evoking ethereal serenity and peace.
Shra's artworks are represented in collections internationally.
