About me

I'm Sheena.

I am a surface designer and watercolor painter. I create bold and expressive watercolor designs inspired by African prints, contemporary art, and the world of textiles and fashion. My work is all about color, movement, and expression.

Every watercolor pattern is hand-painted on canvas or cold press paper using rich watercolor inks and deep India inks for contrast. I then scan my paintings and refine them digitally in Procreate or Affinity, making sure they translate beautifully onto fabric, wallpaper, and home decor. My non-watercolor patterns are typically raster or vector based and created in Procreate, Affinity, or hand drawn.

I create with the goal of setting a mood—whether bold and energetic or soft and harmonious. My shop has a variety of styles, but my specialty is creating striking and sophisticated patterns that stand out.

Thanks for stopping by! I’d love to see how you use my designs in your projects. Feel free to reach out at bonaise.licensing@gmail.com or connect with me on IG: @bonaise.studio.
