Contemporary Art Academy: class of 2023 final show tour and artists interviews
Over the course of 2023 I have been studying with the Contemporary Art Academy and have completed all 3 of their core modules. The final module PG3 culminates with a group show. On Monday 13 November curator (and CAA co-founder) Zavier Ellis led a PV and exhibition tour of the show. Each artist has a short interview with Zavier to share more about their work, their process and the influences on their work. Even for me, who knew quite a bit already about the work of my peers, it was fascinating to see and hear everyone talking about their work in the context of the gallery space. The whole recording…

Sheila’s weekly update November 4:
This week I’m back on the floor as I share some of the experiments I’ve been doing with digital transfers onto tree bark. Another way of making landscapes using the landscape. I know that a lot of you like the pictures I shared on Instagram so this gives you a bit of a closer look.

Sheila’s weekly update 13 October: Finding your people
People need people is such a true phrase. Over the past few years as I’ve been developing my artists practice, I have slowly been finding my “artist people”. This week I had a lovely day with 2 fabulous artists JC Candanedo and Fiona Stewart. We all met on the CCA professional practice online course, so it was lovely to meet IRL and go and see the piece JC has in the current exhibition at the Glasgow Gallery of Photography then spend a lovely evening together. Watch to find out more.

Sheila’s weekly update 1 October: Last chances and post cards
This week I finally managed to get to the amazing Jupiter Artland to see the Lindsey Mendick Sh*tfaced exhibition. It was everything I’d hoped it would be from reading reviews and listening to Lindsey talking about the show. I’m annoyed I left it to the last minute as I would love to see it again. I also got a lovely box of postcards, one of which could be winging its way to you . . .

So this Saturday (16th September, 2- 3pm) I am giving an informal talk about my work, where I find inspiration and some of the processes I use and of course answer any questions about my practice.

Sheila’s weekly update 2 September: opening times!
This week has been pretty busy in the “other side” of my working life so I haven’t managed to get into the studio. However being able to get to two show openings featured my work has brought some much needed balance to the week. I am delighted to have one of my paintings of the Claypits in the “What do people think of Glasgow” exhibition at the Six Foot Gallery in Glasgow, and to have 2 pieces in The Big Art show, at the Art Department in Paisley. This is a seriously big exhibition with an amazing range of work on show. Luckily it’s on until November so lots of…

Sheila’s weekly update 20 August: A bit of fesitival-ing
I had a wee day out at the Edinburgh Festival this week checking out some of the art on show. The “big one” this year is the Grayson Perry “Smash Hits” at the National Gallery. It’s his first retrospective and it’s big – in every sense of the word. Big tapestries, big use of colour, big ideas. It was also very busy so I must go back and explore it in more detail. However, if you do go – make sure you head downstairs to the Elizabeth Blackadder and John Houston show in the lower galleries. A different scale to the “big show” upstairs, but quietly wonderful. I also spent…

Sheila’s weekly update 12 August: it’s all about community
This week it was great to have some time in the studio ecoprinting on paper. A lovely chat with master printer Elisabeth Culshaw helped too! This week I’m also really thankful for the wonderful community I have found through the courses I’ve been doing with the Contemporary Art Academy this year – so wonderful to share the highs and lows of artistic life with you all – you know who you are!
