Shireen is a Los Angeles-based artist and fashion designer. She is from Houston, TX and lived in the Chicago Northwest suburbs for much of her childhood and young adulthood. Her love for drawing started at around 4 years old with her preferred medium being pencil drawing until her late twenties when she fell in love with oil painting. Her style can be characterized as surrealism with a focus on elements of art history, antiquity, and pop culture. The subject matter in her art is done mainly in greyscale with dramatic shadows, highlights, and pops of color. Every piece has symbolic meanings that reflects aspects of her own life experiences, as well as a bit of satire and social commentary.
