Island Goat Studio by Sheila Shamel
“…I’m feeling the swell of the sea in my heart, and the taste of salt in my blood…”

These lyrics by Shaun Davey from the movie Waking Ned Devine, are my anthem. I was born and raised in Nassau, Bahamas. The laid-back nature of island living has had a huge impact on my aesthetic, but even more so on my view of myself as an artist. I take a very informal approach to my craft and clients.
No matter where I am in this world, the sea always inspires me and in turn, my work keeps me connected to it.
One day, my family and I will once again live by the sea, and have several goats, I love goats!! But for now, I paint.

Thanks for stopping by!
