Shayla McLarty

Medium: painting

I work with acrylic paint as well as pastels, oil sticks, and graphite to create multi-layered, abstract paintings. I work intuitively to create expressive and color paintings on canvas. I am very inspired by nature, from seaside landscapes to flowers in my garden. I try to capture the feeling or memory of a moment rather than an exact replication.

I am an artist in Canton, Georgia. I received my BFA from The University of Georgia where I studied painting, photography, and more. I use my multi-disciplinary studies to create layered works inspired by nature and daily life.
