Shay Pappas

Shay is an oil painter from the Macedon Ranges whose work celebrates nature through layered colour and textured expression. Shay paints from her studio in the beautiful Macedon Ranges, where gum trees, foggy mornings and big skies constantly nudge her creativity awake. Since picking up oils in 2022, she’s been obsessed with turning the natural world into textured stories.

Blending modern Impressionist vibes with a love of bold, industrial texture, her work is full of colour, movement and little moments of magic. Always curious, always learning, Shay happily follows her creative instincts wherever they lead, usually somewhere unexpected, uplifting, and delightfully her own.
