Mesmerizing close-ups of natural subjects, particularly flowers, combined with a strategic use of focus, give Sheila June’s photos a painterly feeling. Delicious smears of colour are juxtaposed with minute detail. You’ll really feel you’ve seen these subjects. Yet an element of abstraction gives these images a wonderful versatility.
Sheila’s background in painting shows clearly, but she has turned her hand (and eye!) to almost everything you can think of that involves visual art. She feels that art is universal and that all mediums are equally valid and full of potential. She should know, she’s mastered so many. These include painting, decorative painting, photography, real estate photography, video production (keepsake, real estate, and video-from-still for personal and business), home staging consultation, and wall hangings that incorporate macramé, weaving, and feathers. She even makes accessories and jewelry.
