About Iaysha

Iaysha is a contemporary artist whose work quietly invites the viewer to pause. Working in oils, she builds each painting slowly through layered transparent glazes, allowing light to settle into the surface rather than simply reflect off it.

Her practice grew from a season of stillness and solitude, when painting became a way of processing experience and finding presence. She began using her own previous works as source material, enlarging fragments and reimagining them so that each new painting carries the memory of what came before. This cyclical process mirrors the way life itself unfolds: nothing is lost, everything is transformed.

Her two ongoing collections, Veils of Light and Angels, explore different aspects of presence. The Veils of Light series is concerned with atmosphere and luminosity, the moments when light seems to materialise out of nothing. The Angels series brings a more chromatic, spiritual energy, speaking to protection, guidance, and the unseen forces that surround us.

Iaysha works on commission for private collectors, interior designers, and corporate clients across the UK, creating original paintings that honour the energy and intention of a space. Her work is held in private collections across the UK and Europe.

She also teaches Paint the Veils of Light, an online course that shares her approach to atmospheric abstract painting with students worldwide.
