Paperback: Bold Strokes

This art book is a vibrant journey through the life, vision, and creativity of artist Sheila J. Hall. Blending personal story, community impact, and faith-filled expression, it celebrates more than three decades of artistic achievement. The collection features striking paintings, sculptures, and wearable art that embody themes of heritage, resilience, worship, and joy.
 
From powerful tributes like A Mother's Tears and Strength of Our Roots, to the radiant celebration of worship in Amen and Psalms 150, Sheila's work reflects the depth of cultural identity, the strength of faith, and the beauty found in everyday life. Her abstract pieces, such as Array, Urban Planning, and Avoid the Crowds, capture energy and rhythm, while her Angel series offers sacred reminders of divine presence and hope.
 
Beyond the canvas, the book showcases her innovative wearable art-scarves, kimonos, and shirts that transform her paintings into living, moving galleries. It also highlights her role as a teaching and community artist, using creativity to build self-esteem, heal, and connect across generations.
 
Part gallery catalog, part memoir, and part visual prayer, this collection is more than an archive of Sheila's artistic achievements. It is an invitation to see ourselves reflected in her art-to embrace our own stories, celebrate resilience, and find inspiration in the colors of faith, culture, and imagination.
