Sheila’s weekly update 68: Lost in a trance . . .
This week I share progress on the work I shared last week. I’ve been spending lots of happy, trance like hours tearing paper and glueing paper onto paper building layers of patterns and textures. Ideas are still evolving in my head as to what final pieces will be, but I do have some ideas and have been doing some more experimentation. Watch to find out more.

Sheila’s weekly update 67: In the beginning
In the beginning . . . This week I’m sharing an insight into how some of my creative process starts. I’m starting some new mixed mediw work,so I’ve been dong some monoprinting using different “things” – including old packaging cardboard and paper doilies. I find they create such a range of patterns, lines and textures. I monoprint on various types of paper, and then start the process of adding layers. I’ve never quite sure where the patterns will take me but that is part of the adventure!

Sheila’s weekly update 66: 100 x 100
This week I share some good news, one of my pieces has been selected for the Bobcat Gallery’s 100 x 100 exhibition in March. The exhibition will take place on line and features 100 pieces of work all available for £100. I’ll be sharing more details nearer the time, but lovely to have my work showing with some other fabulous artists.

Sheila’s weekly update 65: Forbidden art
This week I’ve been busy with lots of non art “stuff” , but I did really enjoy watching Forbidden Art. A great new programme with Mary Beards exploring our attitudes to art and what is “acceptable” for public and private viewing. It really made me think about why I find acceptable and why, and also about my own subject choices. Should I be a bit more challenging?
