About Me
I am Sheryl Siddiqui, a mixed-media artist with an unquenchable passion for flowers and abstract gardens. Through my artwork, I infuse energy, vibrancy, and a sense of joy into every stroke, inviting you to embark on a joyful journey of creativity. My art celebrates vibrant colours and positive high vibe energy, brought to life on canvas and paper using acrylic paint, oil stick, recycled materials, glass beads, acrylic markers and even touches of radiant gold leaf. As a creative expert and co-author of the best-selling book, "The Creative Life Book," which claimed the number one spot in Creativity on Amazon Books, I am driven to share the joy of art and ignite the flames of creativity within the hearts of people worldwide.
At the core of my artistic philosophy is the belief that art and colour have the power to uplift, heal and transform lives. My art is an invitation to join me on a journey of discovery, where saturated colours dance together, bringing smiles and positive energy to all who encounter them.
Let's celebrate the beauty of life through art!
