Sheila has produced a collection of cyanotype prints and mixed media artworks themed around light on water and coastal images, with an emphasis on Portobello and its promenade.

Sheila’s work is inspired by the world around her and this is reflected in her subject matter and themes. Working predominantly in the mediums of watercolour and printmaking, Sheila divides her time between Portobello, Assynt and Antigua and has found that working with cyanotypes provides her with great flexibility when moving around, in particular using the sunlight in Antigua to process her cyanotype series. Sheila has always been a keen photographer, developing and printing her own work while growing up, so it was a natural development to move into cyanotype printing as a medium.

Sheila was trained in Fine Art and Printmaking at Edinburgh University and most recently has exhibited her work in two galleries in Antigua, and also showed her work in Art Walk Porty 2024.
