My name is Shiloh Burgart and I am 23 years old. I was born in Iowa and grew up with 3 brothers. We moved to Texas when I was 18 and since then I’ve started to pursue art full time.

I am a self taught artist and I started painting when I was 6. I have a deep love for the craft and I strive to create something new everyday. I am very open minded and am constantly looking for new inspirations. I dream to make a name for myself with my art, and to share it with the world.
