Sharmaine is a high – end, South African artist who has been living in the Sultanate of Oman for the past 10 years, deep inside the desert in Nizwa, a mystical ancient Arabic city known for a tree that has a talking ‘’jinn’’ as well as a fort building which is said to have just appeared accord-ing to locals, by no human hand. She has been described as the ‘’Essence of an extraordinary, gifted mind’’ by Faces Oman magazine because of her prodigally styled, intellect and intricate artistic drawings which include hidden puzzles and musical compositions.
She holds more than 600 continues educational credits spanning, neurological psychology, medical and forensic science, aviation mechanics and management as well as multi - cultural mediation and negotiation and adaptability, spread over the safety and security, health, and emergency service fields of which none includes art.
She gained international recognition as an emerging artist in 2017, particularly for her drawing named ‘Mars Trojan – Elon – The Shroud (5517A)’, from her first solo exhibition in Oman, circling in low space orbit on the Asgardia-1 nanosat cube, with one other work of art.

Type of artwork and how it overlaps with her passion for aviation and intermodal transport etc.: Sharmaine creates blueprint, mixed media drawings of her dreams. Then her work gets photographed, and she uses kaleidoscopic computer software to produce digital art copies of the original work. She is a process artist. Each of her artworks includes Chladni musical composi-tions, puzzles, space, and environmental exploration issues as topics. The artist has a special in-terest in the curing and addressing of PTSD in war and trauma victims, using art, music, and color. Her multi-faceted art explores how it can address security sector reform issues experienced in the aviation and harbor security sector, in which she specializes as well. Her interests overlap with intercultural relations in the art world regarding religions, personal paradigms, and philosophy. She is an artist who actively works at empowering Africa, through free education.
