The Artist’s Hand
Every Shima Shanti artwork is shaped by the artist’s hand. Through a process of layering, excavation, and refinement, each work is distilled until only the essential remains. Traces of its making remain within the surface. Meaning emerges through attention.
The Still Point
Drawn to moments of convergence, threshold, and becoming, Shima Shanti explores the Elemental Still Point—the meeting place of energy and stillness, where layers of time converge.
The Elements
Working in the ancient art of encaustic, painting with beeswax and fusing with fire, Shima Shanti embraces the transformative forces of the natural world. Through layering, fusion, and excavation, each painting becomes a meeting place of material, time, and energy.
Guided by my heart, I paint with the natural elements of beeswax, pigments, and fire; allowing me to infuse the mesmerizing beauty of nature into my art.
