Hi, I'm Shaila!

I’m a self-taught illustrator with a soft heart for watercolors and a deep love for painting portraits. There's something magical about capturing a person’s essence—their emotion, their expression, their story—with just a brush and some pigment. I especially enjoy adapting characters to my unique style, blending softness and detail to bring them to life.

For over five years, I’ve worked professionally as an illustrator, collaborating with authors and brands to turn ideas into visual stories. I also share my art journey with a wonderful community of over 25K creative souls on Instagram, where I post behind-the-scenes looks, finished pieces, and bits of inspiration.

In my course Mastering Watercolor Portraits for Beginners, I’ll be guiding you through the techniques and approaches I’ve developed over the years—broken down into simple, practical steps. Whether you’re completely new to watercolor or just looking to improve, this course is designed to help you grow confidently and creatively. The best part? You can take it at your own pace, from wherever you are.

I can’t wait to see the beautiful art you’ll create. Let’s paint together and unlock your artistic voice! 🌸🎨
