Shahastra
Visionary Artists
Shahastra is a multifaceted artist—author/illustrator, designer and painter—living in Ojai, California. She is drawn to the transformational, soul qualities of artmaking and works to transfer that essence into images and forms that inspire and provoke. Integrating her visual and writing talents, Shahastra authored, illustrated and published the “Magical Rainbow” series of children’s books based on color and positive heroes, now considered 1980s classics.
Shahastra was one of the forerunner designers of the crystal jewelry trend and now creates one-of-a-kind pieces using her vintage gem collection. She was also the designer of her co-owned sculptured ironworks company, “Event Art” which was commissioned by 5-star hotels nationally.
Shahastra’s award-winning pastel and acrylic local landscapes and her imaginary “innerscapes” can be found in both private collections and corporate settings. Her evocative, figurative soul studies have been published into a 50-card reflection deck called, “Meeting the Self.”
