Elaine Sheen is a Taiwanese-American painter and sculptor based in San Francisco. Her work explores emotional states across life stages, with human-like figures that move between childhood and adulthood, disconnection and belonging, suppression and release. Nature holds deep significance in her practice, evoking healing, presence, and the cycles of life and death.

​

Sheen’s work has been exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Art SF, Ruth’s Table, Minnesota Street Studios Gallery, Rosebud Gallery, and more. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Animation and Illustration from San Jose State University and is currently pursuing an MFA in Painting at California College of the Arts.
