Sholeh works in several media, including sculpture, painting, and web design. As a sculptor, She feels completely free to move between all the media, traditional and new, to pursue an idea. Her work aims at evoking a sense of connectedness with, and reverence for the natural world. She exhibits her jewelry, ceramic bird sculptures and bird monotypes at the Sign of the Dove Gallery.
Her porcelain jewelry designs are inspired by nature including direct impressions of the stones and driftwoods from Newfoundland Canada. They are fired to 2400 degrees to achieve hardness and durability. The precious metals–22-karat gold, and white gold–are applied for the last firing to accent and infuse the pieces with a lustrous finish. All of her designs are original and one-of-a-kind.
The birch earrings are double-sided, marbled in Ebru style, a distinctive genre of painting on water. She marbles each pair on both sides using acrylic paint. Each side features a unique abstract design. They are readily reversible.
The bird imagery in her ceramic sculptures and monotypes symbolize freedom. The ceramic sculptures are wall reliefs. They are hollow, allowing a positive message to be nested inside imbuing them with a wish or a good thought therefore making them a keepsake.
She teaches sculpture and ceramic classes in her Vernon Street studio.
