Shima Shanti is both Artist and Author. She blends two distinct art forms of painting and prose that span the spectrum of the exact to abstract. With the turn of each page you are guided inwardly to your own reflective thoughts and mindful conclusions. Whether Shima is holding a pen or brush in hand her vision is one of Peace. Inspired by Nature and imbued with mysticism Spirit flows through her painting and writing. This unique individuality defines her creative work. Shima writes to create an exact image with her words. In those moments when words are too defined to describe the depths of her soul she turns to painting without any degree of exactness. Each in their own language is guided by her heart and voiced from her soul. Shima invites you into her intimate world of creation and the possibility that the energy infused into each painting will stir something within you and beckon you to linger a moment longer in a shared appreciation of art. This is the gift; the gift of Shima’s art.
