Welcome
Showcasing the majesty of wildlife and equine elegance
Colourful and vibrant paintings that capture the essence of life
Sheila Swayze is a self-taught artist whose work draws deep inspiration from the awe-inspiring landscapes and wildlife of Creston, British Columbia, where she now resides. Originally from Ontario, Sheila moved to the west coast in her 20s, and the breathtaking beauty of the mountains and nature has since become a constant source of creative energy. Her love for animals and the natural world fuels her artistic vision, infusing her paintings with a sense of connection and wonder. Although Sheila has only recently turned her full attention to painting, creativity has always been a central part of her life. Sheila enjoyed a successful career as a costume designer for competitive figure skaters, where she further honed her eye for colour, detail, and design. Sheila expertly captures the essence of animals, using vivid colours and bold brushwork to transport viewers into the wild realms she loves. Through her work, she invites others to experience the beauty, strength, and vulnerability of the creatures she portrays, offering a window into their world
