For the moments when silence says more than words.
A solitary figure sits with her thoughts — not in emptiness, but in a stillness rich with memory, emotion and an inner world entirely her own. Colour and texture surround her, holding the weight of everything unsaid.

Product Description
The Colour of Stillness is a meditation on the quiet spaces we rarely give ourselves permission to inhabit — those inward moments when we stop performing and simply be.
The solitary figure at the centre of this work is at once still and full. She is not absent. She is deeply present — with her memories, her emotions, the unnamed feelings that surface only when the world goes quiet. The layered textures that surround her are not decorative; they are the texture of an interior life, the visual weight of everything she carries inward.
The painting deliberately leaves space — space for the viewer to bring their own silence, their own season of turning inward, their own unspoken inner world. What you find in her stillness is yours.
This work is part of the She series — a body of work exploring the interior landscapes of a solitary female figure moving through realms of thought, longing, identity and quiet strength. Bold textures and a restrained, evocative palette make each work in the series both visually arresting and emotionally intimate. She is muse and mirror. Her story is yours to complete.
About the She Series
In this surreal, dream-like series, a solitary female figure moves through imagined landscapes of thought and emotion. Born from a single sketch, She has evolved into a powerful visual metaphor for our inner worlds — where vulnerability and strength coexist, and where questions, not answers, shape the journey.
Each painting invites you into her space — a moment suspended in time — where she reflects on love, longing, identity and the fragile beauty of being. Through bold textures and minimal yet evocative colour palettes, She becomes both muse and mirror.
Let her story speak to yours.

Three cats. One corner of Singapore. An afternoon that belongs entirely to them.
On a quiet stretch of shophouse street — striped awnings, ochre walls, the particular light of a Singapore afternoon — three cats have claimed their spot. Unhurried. Unbothered. Entirely at home.

Product Description
Every city has its cats. But Singapore's cats have something particular about them — a self-possession that matches the streets they inhabit. They know the rhythms of the shophouse corridors, the cool of the five-foot way, the particular slant of afternoon light on an ochre wall. They are as much a part of the landscape as the buildings themselves.
In Cat Stories: Shophouse Days, three cats occupy a corner of what feels unmistakably like Singapore — the iconic Peranakan shophouse rising behind them, its striped awnings vivid against a luminous teal sky. The world beyond is soft, atmospheric, slightly dreamlike. But the cats are entirely present. One stretches upward, alert. One sits composed, watching. The smallest tucks in close — the youngest of the group, still learning the art of belonging somewhere.
A mixed media technique layers texture upon texture — the rough grain of the street beneath them, the weathered plaster of the shophouse wall, the loose, expressive energy of cats who have nowhere better to be. The palette moves between the warm terracottas of the cats and building, and the cool aqua-green of a sky that feels both tropical and timeless.
This is Singapore as its cats experience it — unhurried, sunlit, and quietly magnificent.

Product Description
There are moments that resist being pinned down — that exist outside of narrative, outside of before and after. Between Colour and Silence lives in exactly that space.
The solitary figure here is not searching, not arriving, not leaving. She has found — perhaps briefly, perhaps unexpectedly — a place that feels entirely her own. The colour that surrounds her is neither backdrop nor decoration; it is the atmosphere of belonging, the visual sensation of a moment that asks nothing of you except your presence within it.
Some moments don't ask to be remembered. They simply ask to be lived. That is the invitation this painting extends to the viewer. Not to analyse. Not to interpret. Simply to stand inside it for a while and let it be enough.
This work is part of the She series — an ongoing body of work tracing the interior landscapes of a solitary female figure through realms of thought, emotion, longing and quiet self-possession. Each painting in the series is distinct in mood but unified in its willingness to sit with complexity — to find beauty not in resolution, but in the unresolved.
Between Colour and Silence is for the collector who knows that some of the most significant moments in a life are the ones that leave no record — only a feeling that lingers long after the moment has passed.

‘She’ Series
A surreal, dream-like series where a solitary female figure takes center stage. Each artwork echoes her quiet strength, vulnerability, and untamed imagination.
"I hope my art speaks for me - and for those who see themselves in it."
“Colour is an integral part of Sheena’s artistic repertoire. Her colour palette is minimal, bold and captivating. Sheena’s background as a psychologist reflects through her paintings where the elements of design- colour, line, form and texture, are used in a judicious manner and draw the viewer to look beyond the apparent.”
‘Cat’ Stories
A whimsical series capturing the quiet charm, quirks, and secret lives of cats. Each piece invites you into their curious world—part mischief, part mystery, all heart.
