Realism Artist • Muralist • Mentor • Certified Creative Arts Coach

I’m Keira Sloetjes, a professional realism artist with a deep passion for capturing meaningful stories through art. Whether it’s a delicate portrait, a large-scale mural, or a heartfelt memorial sketch, my work is about more than technique — it’s about connection, emotion, and creating something that lasts a lifetime.

About My Work

My portfolio reflects my dedication to detail, care, and storytelling. Each piece is created with the goal of evoking feeling, honouring memories, and inspiring connection.

I specialise in:

  • Portraits – capturing the essence and spirit of individuals with warmth and precision
  • Murals – transforming walls and silos into vibrant community landmarks
  • Memorial Sketches – honouring loved ones through art that tells their story with dignity and love

Every artwork is infused with heart, authenticity, and a commitment to bringing beauty into the world.
