Sea & Surf celebrates the power and beauty of Scotland’s ocean waves is the latest in a series of collections Sheila has dedicated to the sea.
“My early drawings of the cliffs and shoreline round Hoxa where I grew up gained me a place at Edinburgh College of Art in the 1960s. The sea, rocks and shore continue to fascinate me today. When the light is special I’ll return to the shoreline to sketch and gather inspiration. The power, colour and movement of the sea can be mesmerizing.”
