Sheila Kernan

Sheila grew up with four brothers and one sister in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Her family fostered the arts, my grandmother was a painter and seamstress, my father an artistic woodworker, my uncle a photographer, and the list goes on.

At the tender age of three she began expressing a love of her surroundings through painting and drawing. Her love of art led her to take art classes from a local wildlife artist, Gail Adams. Gail taught her how to draw.

Sheila completed her B.F.A at the Alberta College of Art and Design.

Experiencing the world has become an integral part of her artistic process. Traveling all over Canada, Japan, San Francisco, Vegas. She finds beauty in large urban centers as well as on remote mountain tops.

"When I paint I am attempting to share my journeys in a unique and vibrant way utilizing art to express who I am and what I love."
