Sheala May is a local Denver artist that graduated from Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in painting.  Sheala has shown at many local galleries including the “Utopia/Dystopia 2014 Athena Project Arts Festival”.  Her mediums range from wax to gold leaf, but her forte has always been oil paints. 

​

Sheala's works primarily deal with the female body. As a teenager, Sheala was heavily influenced by the Cervix, and since then she has continued to study and be inspired by the female anatomy.

​

The Cervix in her work represents life, and also serves as a representation of deity and fear.  Sheala's works show a different perspective of the female body and what it means to be a woman in today’s modern society, all while holding true to an organ that has dictated female lives since the dawn of homo sapiens.

​

Sheala's work explores the relationships between the representations of the female body and what connects us as Humans in today's emotionally, financially, and violently motivated world.
