Shariyah was born into a family of artists. Rather than attending fine art schools, her childhood was spent drawing and painting with her 5 sisters in the hills of Tennessee and the mountains of Montana. Shariyah has since moved to New Zealand and now resides on Waiheke Island. Here she spends most of each day painting and creating in her studio. Shariyah's work can be found in various exhibits and galleries as well as online. Her most recent work explores mixed media portraits, with a reniassance-like feel that embodies a spiritual or expressive essence.
