Shiloh Sophia McCloud experiences life as a great adventure and a cause for celebration! She is a visionary entrepreneur, artist and writer who has dedicated the past 16 years of her life to practicing and sharing the creative arts. From her desire to share the blessings and healing possible through intentional creativity, and her belief that all beings are inherently creative, Shiloh founded the tribe of Cosmic Cowgirls, a Community, University and Magazine, owned by women and girls.
Shiloh was raised in a matriarchal household of wild creatives and has been painting since she was just a girl. Her fine art paintings are represented and collected all over the world, and she has owned a gallery for over 12 years, featuring women’s artwork. Inspired by her love of combining word and image, she has illustrated many books and published over seven books of her own, including interactive creative journals. She is currently working on a book about leading a legendary life.
Through her work with tens of thousands of women in her coaching practice, workbooks, workshops and online classes, she has come to believe that creativity is our seventh sense. Shiloh says: Through cultivating our seventh sense–creativity–we open ourselves to a rich world of inner wisdom, symbols, stories, and gain greater access to the gateways leading to our own calling. When we answer that calling, everything we do takes on a different meaning, and we begin to be able to make choices that are in alignment with our life purpose.
Shiloh lives and teaches a philosophy that all art forms are tools for individual, social and spiritual transformation. Shiloh can often be found in her studio in her red cowgirls boots and jeans, working up a cosmic storm with a swirl of glitter on the end of her magical paintbrush.
In her own words:
Everything I create is rooted in my desire to ease the suffering of the world. Some of us serve in soup kitchens. Some of us are marching. Some hold the hands of the dying. Some of us teach. Some fight. Some pray. And some of us, create art. Artists touch the suffering through our creations. Some say that art is not as important as other works, and that to paint or sing or write a poem is not of the same worth as planting and digging carrots or volunteering at the (fill in the blank). But I believe that when the artist is committed to art as a form of service and devotion, it is as important as any and every other form of service and devotion.
