Our Journey
Sheilah Hames Art brings together years of creative growth and a true love for flowers, color, and the rhythms of nature. My own journey began in the greater Houston area, where I spent 20 years as an art instructor exploring countless styles, techniques, and mediums beside fellow artists and students. That experience became a treasure chest for my own work. Since moving to Tulsa and painting full-time, I have discovered the joy of letting creativity flow, learning alongside every new canvas. My work is always evolving, often guided by nature's surprises and beauty. For me, the best part of being an artist is the steady adventure of discovering not only new methods, but also new feelings and stories in every painting. Art never stands still - it always nudges us forward. I invite you to join me on this journey, whether you are looking for inspiration, a sense of calm, or a special piece for your space.
A Little More
My story is grounded in a lifelong curiosity about art, with flowers and natural light as my constant companions. Decades spent teaching in Houston gave me a toolbox full of methods while also opening my eyes to art's role in personal growth. Moving to Tulsa allowed me to flourish as an artist, using bold and gentle colors to bring out the natural calmness in every scene. Each piece I make celebrates growth - both in nature and in myself - and is meant to invite you to slow down, reflect, and feel at home in your surroundings.
