Shaylin creates art as a way to breathe through what can’t be said. Her work isn’t about performance or perfection, it’s about feeling, healing, and returning to the truth of the moment. She paints from presence, letting each piece unfold through emotion, intuition, and energy. Her process is raw, instinctive, and unfiltered. Color and texture become tools for transformation, not to escape chaos, but to move through it.

For Shaylin, art is peace. Not the quiet kind that avoids discomfort, but the kind that sits with pain, holds it, and softens it. Her practice is deeply rooted in the now. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Just now. Because now is where the truth lives and her art is where she meets it. Shaylin is now based in Toronto. She was born in Canada and raised between Port Elgin, Ontario and Lusaka, Zambia. Shaylin carries both cultures deeply. This duality lives in her work: intuitive, emotional, and layered with meaning. She paints from presence, letting each piece unfold through energy, memory, and mood.
