Shiloh Levy was born in 1990 in central Florida. She studied Visual Arts for three years at Rollings Middle School of the Arts in Summerville, South Carolina. Obsessed with a variety of creative endeavors she created her first zine, ran a fansite about an alternative band, upcycled her clothes, worked on the school news, and drew cartoons of gaming characters while attending high school. She had a difficult childhood and first became homeless at the age of seventeen, experiencing living on floors, couches, shelters, the street, and in her car with tenuous periods of stability up until her early 30s.

Throughout her struggles, she never stopped creating. She moved to NYC in 2011 and spent over a decade in and out of the city, learning and growing. She was always obsessed with fashion and survived by the rag trade up until her early 30s. This included countless hours street vending her original art on clothes.

Her work is based on her experiences and views of metaphysics, feminisim, and politics. She lives peacefully in Orange Park, Florida with her husband Eric, cat, and two dogs.
