Sheila is an art instructor and a self taught artist. Acrylic is her choice of medium after exploring all mediums over twenty plus years. Born in a small coastal town on the northern shores of New Brunswick. This Calgary-based artist uses her Maritime roots and Alberta home for artistic inspiration. Her love of reading and writing about her process has been a consistent part of her development. She brings what she has learned to the studio and the classroom. Sheila’s art is inspired by the colours in nature; the open skies, the depth of field, and movement in the trees. Sometimes nostalgic. She often paints from memory; combining representational imagery with abstraction. Each subject becomes a series for a time; but exploration is what she enjoys most. Using techniques that include all water mediums for something truly original.
