Watercolour & Pencil colour (series) by Shaili Malla in Homebush West

I’m Shaili, a multidisciplinary artist from Nepal, now based in Sydney. My work blends fine art, contemporary craft, and digital media, often exploring themes of culture, identity, and womanhood. With a background in fine arts and a love for storytelling, I create across painting, nail art, and video. I’m passionate about merging traditional influences with modern techniques, making art that feels both personal and universal. Beyond my studio practice, I also work on creative freelancing and content creation, with experience producing viral digital content and designing for diverse platforms. I enjoy connecting with communities through art, whether by sharing stories visually or experimenting with new mediums. Right now, I’m developing a new body of work inspired by Nepalese heritage and women’s narratives, while also building my portfolio in Sydney through exhibitions, commissions, and freelance opportunities.
