Christmas commission (Heaven Scene) by Shayla in Franklin Township

I’m an Aspiring Full-Time Fine Artist who enjoys any and everything creative. Hands-on and visual learner. I like to work in many mediums but my focus is on acrylic painting. I’ve been pursuing art and a career in it ever since I can remember. I haven’t taken the traditional route of going to school for my art. Most everything I know is through teaching myself, instinct, or from the insanely talented teachers I had in High School. I work in graphite, ink, colored pencil, watercolor, gouache, acrylic, marker, etc. The only thing I have yet to play with are oils. I also enjoy dabbling in graphic design, ceramics, and photography. I’ve had my work shown locally and have won some awards. I reside in an area of the state where talented artists are literally everywhere and had a lot of competition growing up. I’ve been told I have a very distinct style. It’s illustrative while also maintaining a sense of realism or sometimes surrealism. Most of my work is Acrylic on canvas or wood but I can work with you and use whatever medium you prefer that I’ve previously mentioned. I’m an artist and muralist who specializes in portraiture and illustrative work. I love communicating with clients to bring about their vision for a project. You can support my work by purchasing already created pieces, commissioning me for a project or through word of mouth both are truly appreciated. Based out of Central NJ.
