Sheila Bayley is a self-taught kenyan contemporary artist, based in Nairobi.

With a background in psychology, she explores the balance between nature-nurture and how it determines human behaviour.

working mostly with acrylic and mixed-media on canvas and paper, and inspired by themes of identity, her personal experiences, and perspective on the complexities of urban life, she weaves intricate tapestries with her brush unveiling numerous carefully placed narrations into moving yet grounded compositions.
