Jessica Sheila is a multi-disciplinary artist who paints and takes photographs. After a decade of living abroad in South East Asia, she has recently returned to her home in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada. She completed her photographic studies at SPEOS in Paris, France, and has since lived in Toronto, Canada and Phuket, Thailand, where she worked as a freelancer.
Her work focuses and reflects on daily life, dwelling into everyday normalities, fleeting time and the ways in which people interact with their chosen surroundings. Color and light are largely guiding and influencing the style and subjects seen in her work.
Curious to observe and understand the world around her, she is often found wandering the streets with a camera hung over her shoulder.
