Nilam Shah Abstract Artist & Life Coach

So many new and exciting things have come into my space this year - from weekly Sunday morning hikes, completing crochet projects, completing my reiki Level 2&3, buying a massage bed to give treatments, new art supplies ordered and a whole lot more - to always learning, developing and deepening my understanding and knowledge and cultivating creativity - my way of grounding myself this year 🙏🏽. Through it all I know I have my angel dad by my side 💕

Over 30 years of friendship, laughter, strength and memories 💫
— I’ve had the privilege of watching you lead with heart, resilience and unwavering dedication. You’ve shaped so many lives, including mine.

Now it’s your time to pause, reflect and feel proud of everything you’ve given. Enjoy retirement ❤️❤️❤️

My friend, my sister always — you are truly absolutely fantastic. 💛

Spending time talking and sharing life stories 💕💕💕

Such a beautiful day connecting with some gorgeous women for chai and art 💕

All the marks on the table, the layers in my art mean so much to me - growth, courage, lightness, freedom, healing, confidence, self-love & so so much more 💕. If you are feeling stuck, run down, tired of the same routines - give a shout! Let me help you through coaching and creativity to unleash and discover 💕

The time of year that I really love - Diwali 💕💕💕 such a meditative zone creating a rangoli x

‘Moment of Joy’ has found its forever home 💕

This painting was created from a place of pure gratitude and light, and it fills my heart to know it will continue to spark joy in its new space. 🌸💛. It’s a piece that holds bright and vibrant colours as well as darker tones from the bottom layer to the splashes of bright yellow on the final layers. Within life, we have dark and bright moments …. However there will always be flashes of bright light to connect to bring joy 💕

Thank you to the wonderful Harjinder who connected with it so deeply. 🎨💫
I’m beyond grateful for the support, love, and encouragement that allows me to keep sharing my art and passion with the world.

Here’s to many more ‘Moments of Joy’ in all of our lives.

If you would like one of my paintings or would like to come to a workshop /retreat - DM me or head to my website (link in bio)💕. Happy to create a bespoke piece and bring some colour and joy through art into your space x

It’s been a whole week since being back from our Swiss adventure — and what a gorgeous place it was 💕🇨🇭✨ It’s taught me so much about life, gratitude, and slowing down to truly see what’s around me. Here’s what I’m taking away from this experience:

🌿 I will continue to appreciate the beauty of nature — the mountains, lakes, waterfalls, glaciers and wildflowers. All of these were simply breathtaking. The weather did not stop us as we got caught in a thunderstorm and got soaked and battled intense heat on some of our hikes!
🚠 That life isn’t a race and it’s so important to slow down, breathe and be present. The Swiss pace of life taught me to be ok when stepping out of comfort zones. It was the first time travelling on trains and public transport - not easy, but we embraced the systems and went with the flow!
💙 Fresh air and open spaces heal the soul — there’s magic in disconnecting from busy routines and reconnecting with nature. I love daily walks and being outdoors, even if it’s just some time in the garden or going for a walk.
🚶🏽‍♀️ Move your body for joy, not just to tick a box — walking those mountain trails wasn’t exercise, it was nourishment. There were some aches and pains but with a good pair of boots and being prepared for all weathers we kept active and had so much fun.
☕️ Simple pleasures matter — good coffee with a view, a lakeside snack and watching a sunset.
🫶🏽 Gratitude is everything — for your health, your freedom, your loved ones and the opportunities you have.

Feeling so inspired to weave more of this energy into my everyday life 🌸✨ What’s something your recent travels have taught you? 🌍💫

Snippets from my latest piece - it’s a double one! Two canvases side by side :) working on a large scale is so exciting - freedom of letting go on a canvas and trusting my intuition! I dreamt about this one in my sleep and added in the splash of yellow and gold this morning! Some of our best ideas come when we are resting and take time to step away 💕
