Inspired by the sea and created in the sun Sheila has produced a collection of cyanotype prints themed around water, tidal effects, petrified corals and sea shells.
Sheila Maclean is an artist who was trained in painting and printmaking and in recent years has been working in the medium of watercolour and cyanotype. Dividing her time between Scotland and Antigua she has produced a new series of prints inspired by the sea shore ranging from the effects of light on water, tidal currents, petrified coral and seashells. Using photography she has produced images, created negatives and using the cyanotype method has printed them on hand prepared light sensitised archival paper using natural sunlight. She has produced a series of prints, and has also used mixed media with cyanotype to create individual artworks.
Sheila studied Fine Art at Edinburgh University in the1980’s and went on to work as an illustrator and scenic artist alongside producing a series of lithographs as a member of the Edinburgh Printmakers workshop.
In recent years her work has been exhibited in the two foremost galleries in Antigua: Fig Tree Art Gallery and Rhythm of Blue Gallery, Antigua.
