BIOGRAPHY

Primarily self taught, Sheila has been a professional artist for over 20 years. Her interest lies in obscure areas of the environment as seen on the periphery of daily vision. Sheila works in oil, preferring large panels. Using dynamic brushstrokes and saturated colour, she captures the friction and play of texture and temperature where surface planes meet, challenging the eye to look deeper, to see beyond the obvious, to become aware of those areas of nature necessary to existence, to see beauty in the mundane. An elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists and the Ontario Society of Artists, Sheila’s work has been included in private and corporate collections around the world. She is represented by various galleries in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia and participates in select exhibitions throughout the year.
