‘Life drawing is an opportunity for profound connection. I experience a palpable sense of empathy in my own body when witnessing another being in their most vulnerable state.”
Sheers’ life drawing practice both underpins her abstract work and exists in its own right. Working ambidextrously with saturated pastels and feathers dipped in ink, she renders a fluid and instinctive capturing of the human form in its many states and life stages. Her eloquent, signature line searches for truth and reverence in each figure, quietly inviting the viewer into an awareness of the universal with the personal.
