Limited edition prints now available
This week I’m sharing a bit more about my latest limited edition print, and why I enjoy the process I use to create the prints. The prints are made through a transfer process from a print of one of my photographs, onto recycled Khadi paper. As the Khadi paper is hand made it has a lovely slightly, rougher texture than say cartridge paper. The process also creates a quality that distorts time. I think that they have a vintage 1970/80’s photograph colour quality. I quite like that messing with time as it makes you look at the image in a different way. The transfer process itself also means that each…

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…

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.

Exhibition update
This week’s update is all about exhibitions. Firstly the fabulous 100 x 100 online exhibition curated and hosted by Bobcat Gallery. I’m thrilled to be included in this collection again. It runs for all of March so do check it out next time you are online. I also spent a wonderful morning this week at the Love of Print show celebrating 50 years of the Glasgow Print Studio at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. What a wonderful, uplifting, inspiring show. Open until the 12th of the month so do check it out if you can.

Sheila’s weekly update 86: open studio weekend
I’ve been having a busy couple of weeks and so didn’t quite manage to get an update done last week. However, normal service resuming today!

Sheila’s weekly update 78: Push and pull
Just a short update this week as my great plans for studio time this week didn’t quite work out! Best laid plans and all that. But I did get some studio time at the end of the week, and just made some time to enjoy the process of pushing and pulling paint around a canvas. I feel this landscape study is just prep for something quite different. However I am enjoying the space it is giving me to think.
