About

Shanice Sade Gervais is an illustrator and dancer, who blends rhythm, memory, and imagination into every piece she creates. Her Caribbean background is central to her art, where culture, nature, and emotion come together in vibrant, meaningful ways. When she draws, she enters a quiet space where characters take shape, colours speak, and stories begin to grow.

Her work explores themes of identity, freedom, and wonder–often through the lens of Caribbean fantasy. She is drawn to moments of softness and strength, beauty and bravery, especially in the characters and worlds she creates. Portraiture, flora, and storytelling guide her process, and she often pulls inspiration from everyday life, her surroundings, and her heritage.

Sade works in both traditional and digital mediums, often drawing by hand with coloured pencils and watercolour, or using digital tools to achieve the same intimate, hand-drawn feel. Whether created on paper or screen, her work is rich with texture and heart–inviting both children and adults into spaces where imagination feels like home.

For her, illustration is more than a profession–it is a way to connect, uplift, and inspire. She hopes her work speaks to the young dreamers, the quiet thinkers, and anyone looking to see a piece of themselves in a character or a story.
