Sheila Schauble was born in the small town of Bonners Ferry in Northern Idaho. Being exposed to both the abundance of nature’s beauty and a creative Grandmother she developed a deep passion and love for nature that she expresses in her artwork.
As a young child Sheila’s family moved from Idaho to Washington, Oregon and finally California. Thankful she never found herself without a pen, pencil or brush in hand, her mind and talent expanded more. Various wildlife was always a true love when it came to her art, but in 1997 when she made the move to Arizona, she was introduced to the western cowboy. Small farming towns, wildlife and now cowboys, life could not get better! As a young adult she kept her artistic talent alive when she entered the interior design world by starting her own successful company providing various faux finish techniques and creative murals. After many years of working up the “ladder” she started looking for a change that would bring her closer to fulfilling her true artistic dream.
In 2018 she picked up oil painting and this proved to be a life changing moment. As a self-taught artist, it has been here that her true passion comes to life. Using realism in her oil painting she expresses her love of nature and a nostalgic past. She does not look to paint what you see but rather to invoke a feeling in you when looking at her work.
After spending more then two decades in the Great Southwest she lives fulfilling her life-long dream bringing her works to life, in her small studio in Glendale, Arizona.
