A Special Marriage; A Special Talent
By DEANNA DAHLSAD
Shefali Nayan was born 30 years ago in Ahmedabad, India. She fondly
recalls being raised in Ahmedabad, "I was surrounded by art and music
since I was a kid. I have been encouraged by a wonderful family that
has imbibed and created an aura of positive energy for me."
With this wonderful support, Shefali persued her education, earning a
Masters of Fine Arts (MFA) with Painting as specialization. Shefali met
Kat Caverly via her husband, Nayan, and began work here in 2004, about
one year after Nayan.
Now a fine art illustrator and painter, Shefali creates the
characters and backgrounds and her husband animates them.
Shefali loves the ability to be imaginative and creative while working
on her illustrations. And she is happy to know that her art is
appreciated. She states that her work with Kat Caverly allows her to be
more creative, both in terms of moods and characters.
When asked about her favorite projects, Shefali said "Each concept, each
character, each piece of music and all that they emote are so distinct
and nice in their own way, that in some sense they could all be my
favorites!" Since Shefali won't name her favorites, I'll tell you that
one of our most popular ecards is Queen For A Day, which is by Shefali and Nayan. And my
personal favorite by this husband and wife team is the lovely Joyous.
Shefali said that she is drawn to this work by her "urge for experience and
creation of the world and surroundings and also a sense of sharing my
aesthetic experience with like minded souls."
So it would seem that working for No Evil Productions is another perfect
marriage for Shefali.
