I’m an impassioned creator with a love for all arts. With a background in Business Administration from SUNY Fredonia, I combine my creativity with a strong business acumen to bring my ideas to life. I’m always excited to work on projects that allow me to express my passion and contribute to my community.
I’ve been a photographer since 2014, have been honing my sewing skills since 2022, and I have performed in numerous musical and theatrical productions throughout my life. I enjoy using these talents to create unique pieces, capture beautiful moments, and bring joy to those around me. Whether it’s designing a unique quilt or taking the perfect photo, I love how artistic mediums allow me to tell stories and connect with others.

Sheyanza Aajan
Painting
I am Sheyanza, a self-taught painter from Sri Lanka with a unique command of color that defines my work. Without the formal training of art school, I’ve developed my own style by experimenting with various techniques and drawing inspiration from my surroundings. My compositions are a blend of cultural heritage, personal experiences, and a deep connection to the natural world. Through my use of color and form, I strive to evoke emotion and tell stories that transcend traditional boundaries. My art is an exploration of freedom, expression, and the beauty found in every moment.
