Sheila’s weekly update 5th August: new starts and new moons . . .
I’m back with my weekly updates after a couple of weeks away on holiday. It was great to get back into the studio this week. There was also a super-moon this week which apparently is a very auspicious time to start new projects so hopefully that will work for me! I also share some tile making adventures . . . watch to find out more.

Sheila’s weekly update, 17 June: a bit of cut and run . . .
This week I share some reflections on the new Banksy exhibition, Cut and Run, currently on at GOMA. It’s quite a show, and worth getting along to. It also has very long opening hours so you don’t have to see it within normal gallery opening hours. As well as giving an insight into his work, the staging of the exhibition also creates interesting dialog around the control of imagery. I found it thought provoking, funny and poignant. Definitly worth checking out.

Contiguous: a narrated walk through the exhibition
I can’t believe it’s already been a week since my solo exhibition, Contiguous. It was lovely to see so many people in person at my solo exhibition last week. I know many of you couldn’t make it to Glasgow in person, so here is a little tour of the exhibition with me giving some insight into the work. If you are interested in any of the work, then do let me know as some of it is still available for you to own.

Sheila’s weekly update 15 April 2023: Being thankful . . .
This week I’m talking about community and the importance of community to artists. Early this week I attended a talk host by @Contemporary Art Academy by Matthew Burrows. It was such a generous and informative session. Matthew stared the #artistssupportpledge during the first lockdown. It’s such a great example of the power of community. Over the past few years I have been working at building my artist community. I feel so lucky for all the people I have met and who are part of my network. Too many people to mention but you know who you are. Your support, presence and work inspire me everyday. Thank you all.

All about the otters. . .
It’s been a bit of a busy week with “non art” stuff as I have been in Inverness at a conference. It was great to catch up with some many people but it was quite tiring too. Anyway, today has been more of serendipitous back to nature and back to art kind of a day . . . I’ve also signed up for the ArtQuest 30 days 30 works challenge. Basically you are sent a challenge everyday and have to create and share a piece of work every day of the month. You can see my contributions here. Hopefully I can make it to the end of the month! I…

A productive residency week at Cove Park
A bit late posting this, but I had another amazing week at Cove Park. It was so lovely to be back in that special place. This year I was a bit more focused on work than last year, and make good progress on 2 works. I also had a little open studio for the other residents which gave me the opportunity to share and curate some work I brought with me and get an idea of how they all fitted together. You can watch a little montage of my week here. And here’s a little video of my mini open studio presentation.
