STAY GROOVY CREATIONS FINE ARTS PORTFOLIO

I’m O’Hara Kamis, a self-taught Canadian artist and the creator behind Stay Groovy Creations. My art blends psychedelic surrealism, feminine energy, and vibrant color, often featuring acrylic, oil, and real gold leaf on large-scale or multi-panel canvases. While my signature style leans toward expressive, surrealist portraits, I’ve also completed realistic dog portraits and custom commissions, which I love collaborating with clients to bring their visions to life!

​

My work is influenced by my Lebanese heritage, my lifelong love for color, and my background in science. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology (UVic) and a Master’s in Sustainable Forest Management (UBC), which often show up in my nature-inspired pieces.

The name Stay Groovy Creations comes from my younger years, friends calling me “O Groovy” for my bubbly, fun-loving energy, and that spirit continues to shine through in every piece I create.

​

Whether it's a vibrant surrealist portrait, a bold abstract landscape, a realistic pet commission, or a one-of-a-kind custom piece, my art is rooted in color, storytelling, and meaningful collaboration, and always created with that signature groovy magic!
