Synopsis:
We had a fabulous conversation about the business side of an art practice. Sheila shared her insights about writing an artist statement, ensuring a professional approach to your practice, inventory management and more. We talked her classes and mentoring programs.
About the Artist:
Primarily self taught, Sheila has been a professional artist for over 23 years. Her interest lies in obscure areas of the environment as seen on the periphery of daily vision. Sheila works in oil, painting both Plein Air and in the studio, 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.
Her work has a strong organic feel to it, indicative of the natural landscape she paints.
