Growing up in the prairies in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Sheila Kernan was introduced to nature at a very young age. She began expressing a love of her surroundings through painting and drawing, completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Alberta College of Art and Design. She is attracted to unplanned moments where she stumbles upon a pathway, or hiking up a creek, finds herself completely lost in nature. Her paintings share her journey in a unique and vibrant way.
