Hi, I'm Shefali Sahay!

Thanks for visiting my store. A little about me: I'm a South Asian, Disabled, and womxn multimedia artist with a passion for painting, drawing, videography, photography, among other disciplines. I graduated from Rutgers University in New Brunswick in spring 2023 as a Visual Arts major.

Where do I find inspiration?

I draw inspiration from my everyday surroundings and life experiences, finding and visualizing joy and beauty in little moments. 

Why am I an artist?

When I was a child, my Autism was severe. In those early years, I was nonverbal. However, art was the way I could communicate my feelings and thoughts. As the years passed, that didn’t change — even as I did. I began exploring all types of media, from photorealistic fine arts like acrylics, oils, and colored pencil, to videography and photography. Art is my biggest strength, just as it was when I was younger.
