Driven by her passion for visual storytelling, Shai creates vibrant pieces that primarily sit within the realm of portraiture. Her Ghanaian-British background heavily influences her work, which colourfully explores themes of identity, diaspora, black joy and the intersection of race in the digital age. She is inspired most by her observation of what it means to be a black woman in this complex world. Just a glimpse of life through our lens, shared experiences and self healing.

 

Shai creates the kind of art she wishes existed when she was growing up.
