About me

Hi, I am Shilpa, and my art journey began during my Year 11 school holidays, when painting first became a source of joy, curiosity, and self-expression. I moved to Australia in 2007 to pursue my Master’s in Information Systems, but despite choosing a different academic path, my true interest has always been in art. Although life took me in different directions over the years, my passion for painting never faded. After settling in Australia, I reignited that passion and continued to refine my skills as a self-taught artist through dedication, practice, and continuous learning.

I work with acrylics, oils, and pencil portraits, and I enjoy creating everything from abstract pieces to highly detailed artworks. I also specialise in customised art whether it’s portraits, pet portraits, spiritual themes, or personalised creations tailored to your ideas and space. My first commissioned piece, a Rosella bird painting in 2013, gave me the confidence to share my creativity with others, and every artwork since then has been a meaningful step in my artistic journey.

To me, art is a deeply immersive experience, and I believe every canvas is an opportunity to learn, express, and connect. Through Shilpa Reddy Arts, I hope to bring beauty, emotion, and inspiration into the homes and hearts of those who appreciate my work.
