Sheleia Brooks

I'm an abstract painter based in Oakland, California. I love to express myself through mixing colors with the paint pouring method the most. I like to connect with my inner child when creating. I started painting 5 years ago as an outlet for my curiosity while starting therapy as I faced childhood trauma. It has turned into my personal passion and joy that keeps me motivated through life's wave-like journey. I have displayed my art at countless local art events around the Bay Area. As of this year I started displaying in Galleries for month-long exhibits in Oakland and Los Angeles. As well as digitally displaying in galleries in Spain, Paris, and Dubai just to name a few countries this year.  Professionally for 2 years I was a teaching artist at the Museum of African Diaspora, as well as teaching monthly art sessions at mental health outpatient centers. My mental health journey led me to painting and I hope to help others on their journey as well by expressing themselves through art. My hope is to bring a connection of joy to my audience's imagination when viewing my work.
