The prints

Scroll slowly. Each painting below takes over the color of this page, the way it would take over a wall at home. Most originals stay with Shai. The prints go home with you.

    About the artist

    Hi, I'm Shai.

    Say it Sh-AYYY.

    My paintings start with something real: a dream about an owl, a tarot reading, the song my son always asked for, our family dog. Then the layers go on. Acrylic, beads, feathers, charms and collage.

    Look closely and you'll find the flower of life tucked into a lot of them. Prints let these pieces go home with more people, and the sun catchers are my little rainbows for your window.
