Sharyn Sale Ayla

I met Ayla in our first year of high school and, over the past five years, we’ve laughed, cried and had some unforgettable moments together. Now that we’re in our final year of school, this portrait acts as a testament to my best friend and our priceless friendship. This portrait extends past her physical representation – every element of this painting, from the sunny, grassy backdrop to the tranquil warmth of its atmosphere, is symbolic of Ayla’s liveliness and infectious personality. Ayla is a truly incredible person, and if anyone deserves to be immortalised in art, it’s her.
