LA WEEKLY - MEET AN ARTIST MONDAY SPOTLIGHT

Sheila Darcey believes that art healed her soul, and everything she does is about sharing that powerful tool for self-care with the world. Her unique drawing style is intuitive, abstract and organic, covering the page with flourishes and flushes of detail in a manner evoking Surrealist automatic drawing. It’s made in a flow state as part of a daily practice akin to Morning Pages, except visual, and with compelling results that hold their space on any gallery wall, bespoke object, or more recently, NFT auction.

THRIVE GLOBAL - “POwer of the emotional selfie”

Excerpt: "Thus, the journey of SketchPoetic began. It all started with a commitment to sketch daily ­–to sketch the emotions longing to be seen. My first sketches were seemingly shaky and uncertain, but it didn’t matter, because I was creating for me. Even when I started my Instagram page for SketchPoetic as a way to track my progress, I didn’t do it with the intention of building an audience or following. I did it because I felt the need to share it, and without realizing how it would help me grow or give my sketches purpose and meaning, it did.”
