ION INSPIRED ART
Sheila Kern-Artist-Art of a New Alchemy
Sheila Kern is a commission artist who draws upon her world travels and
professional and personal experience to paint works of art that are full of
symbolism and soul, bringing pleasure and personal meaning to the owner.
Originally from Rhode Island, Sheila received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from
Syracuse University. She worked as an illustrator, designer and fine art painter in
New York until her career took her from the United States to Ireland where she
worked commercially, as well as continuing with portraiture and fine art painting.
Most notably, Sheila was commissioned for a series of five portraits by Foras na
Gaeilge, an Irish governmental organization. This series began with painting T.K.
Whitaker, a former Irish economist who won the "Greatest Living Irish Person"
award in 2002.
In 2006, Sheila moved to Paris, leaving commercial work behind to focus solely
on creating works of fine art, and had the pleasure of living in the "City of Light" for
four years. She has exhibited in independent and group shows in the US, Ireland
and Paris.
Charmed by its beauty and creative buzz, Sheila decided to make Savannah,
Georgia, her home in 2010, basking in ever-increasing inspiration.
Sheila has been a listener of "Cash Flow" and is a graduate of ION.

The Ascension Painting, by the contemporary American artist Sheila Kern, is the
only museum-quality oil painting to feature the alchemical qualities of 21st century
technologies represented in the archetypes of the Lamb, the Four Beasts, the Elders
and the figure of the Christ Itself. It is a visual representation of the idea of
individuated enlightenment suggested by the word ‘ascension’. Ms. Kern made this
theme of the omnipresent nature of one’s own deity the central motif of the
portrait: it is this percept which makes the work so beguiling. The background
mise-en-scène also plays an interior role. The Tree of Life, prominently figured
behind the throne, represents the transitional state from information as a basis of
authority to knowing as the root of Power. The cognitive drama is generous
enough in its dimensions to include many aspects within God’s throne room,
including the crystal sea of glass. Impressive in its spatial coherence and
atmospheric implications, the monumentality and the sheer equilibrium of the work
imply a controlled majesty that is fitting for a Queen.
