Shaina Cilimberg

Shaina Cilimberg is a Richmond-based artist, creative entrepreneur, and disability advocate whose work is inspired by the people, places, and everyday moments that capture her attention. Working in acrylic, watercolor, drawing, and digital art, Shaina creates an eclectic mix of landscapes, cityscapes, portraits, animals, coffee-shop scenes, abstract pieces, and imaginative works. Richmond and the surrounding community frequently appear in her art, along with places she has visited, places she hopes to see, and scenes drawn entirely from her imagination. Art has also become a way for Shaina to build a life on her own terms. As a person living with multiple disabilities, she is passionate about challenging assumptions about what people with disabilities can accomplish. Her persistence as an independent artist and entrepreneur is closely connected to her advocacy for greater inclusion, opportunity, and disability acceptance. Shaina has been part of Richmond’s local art community for more than a decade, exhibiting and selling her work through galleries, local businesses, markets, and community events. She is especially interested in creating work that is approachable, meaningful, sometimes unexpected, and ultimately enjoyable to live with. Original artwork and select pieces are available for purchase, and Shaina is open to serious inquiries from collectors, businesses, and others interested in her work.
