Meet The Artist
My name is Sharmaine Rayner and I am a multifaceted artist. I paint using acrylic, oil, water colors, and mixed media of all kinds. I also create through photographs, drawings, digital art, installations, sculptures, jewelry, room decorating, staging, designing spaces of all kinds, writing, and can create something special for you in a variety of styles and sizes.
My work can be purchased in its original form, in a variety of types of prints, printed on home decor items, and on a variety of merchandise. I am available for commissions and projects and work with corporate accounts for custom bulk orders.
Artist Practice:
My practice of art is constantly changing and growing. I believe that through art and creativity we can tap into the unlimited potential of the Universe. There is no limit to what we as humans can create through, vision, consciousness, courage, and action. My life experiences are always influencing my practice and I am always learning new techniques, styles, and disciplines. I love painting, however, painting is just one medium through which I practice. I am inspired by many different styles. There are the times when I am inspired by a more spiritual and visionary style. There are also some times when I love pop art and just making people feel good by brining them a favorite character, a happy memory, and a little designer style. My work is not limited to any one style, medium, genre, or niche. My inspiration is limitless. I also create graphic and digital art. I love technology and will often begin a piece of graphic or digital art by drawing, sketching, painting, or photography, and then adding filters, effects, and digital “painting”. I practice drawing at times when I am on the go or want to explore ideas to paint.
Besides two dimensional art, I also practice wire wrapping and beading, as well as culinary arts. Since the age of about 5, I practiced the arts of dance, singing and music, theater, fashion modeling, and tv/film acting. The arts in all of its forms have been a part of my life since I was very young and I practice more and more to be creative in anything that I am working on and how I live from day to day. I believe that through these experiences, I can truly say that I experience a full and happy life.
In a world where people seek to control each other, where everything is ruled by rules and limitations, it’s important to create and to connect with art in order to break through the barriers of everyday life and see it from a different perspective. Images are so powerful and art is everywhere… in everything…Just like the Creator.
