Below is a selection of her original paintings, all of which are available for sale. Inquire via email.
Winter: This painting captures a snowy scene stunningly. Despite the still water and the leafless tree branches, this 16" x 20" painting is full of life with its evergreens and a pair of bunnies, delicately brushed. According to the Sheski, her paintings are for those who want to bring the outdoors inside, with a sense of space and light in the home or office.
Angelbird: With her 15" x 30" painting, Angelbird, Sheski portrays the interconnectedness between flowers and birds. In this serene watercolor scene, the artist depicts a flower's open invitation for visitation. An angelic bird graces the flower with its presense, and together they delight in the sweet nectar of life. This painting shines in masterful watercolor technique, pleasant in color, texture, and imagery.
Tossed Moon: In Sheski's own words, she describes the discovery of her Tossed Moon painting: "No moment at the ocean is ever the same; the changing shapes of the waves and tides are elusive, yet each second contains an eternity of visual delight, and maybe even the sense that it expresses a consummate life force. In its repeated rise and fall, there is a hypnotist's combination of activity and serenity." Tossed Moon is a 9" x 12" watercolor painting.
