I am inspired by The Cedars Estate, at Hahndorf which is the home of the famous Australian painter of trees: Hans Heysen. 1877-1968. He is known for his paintings of the eucalyptus trees. I had a 6month artist residency at this place in 2010 in which I produced a body of work called Portrait of a House, thirty pieces were exhibited that year at the Hahndorf Academy. This work is part of my memory of the lasting impression of this residency and the subject of this interior space has continued to inspire me to make work. I frequent the estate house as a tour guide so this keeps it alive for me. The room inspires visitors with imagination and I just had to paint what we all feel at times as we look at his place of dreaming. Heysen was a conservator of trees, they were his life and also the basis of his art. I imagine that the trees filled his mind while he slept as a strong impression - here as an artist I wildly depict them as growing though his night time bed.

Biography I work as an artist with an interest in mixed media, contemporary, non objective works - that are usually very colourful. A non representational approach allows me and the viewer to swim along into the work to find our own emotional journey. Although that sounds elusive it is a journey essential in creativity -more so that one never tires of engaging the new discoveries in these many layered pieces. The finished work is then simply mounted on raised cradled panels that do not require formal framing. Background: Sheila was a daughter of parents who were working class - coal miner and weaver, she was born and raised in Burnley, Lancashire a town in the centre of the industrial revolution north of England. Art was introduced to her from a young age by her bachelor uncle in the form of drawing the figure. Creativity remained in her mind and she was dreamy about art in school, thinking about the possibilities of being able to learn more about being an artist. At the age of 17 she married and within four years of marriage migrated to Sydney, Australia, where she began her formal education in art. Her dream was slowly emerging in her new home country half a world away from home. She then ventured into art tutoring for Tafe to begin with, then later she became Gallery Director in Bridgewater, South Australia where she set forth to curate regular exhibition by notable artists. Art practice and studio work about her own ideas continued along side of her gallery work ever preparing her work for a continuing round of solo exhibitions which are listed in her curriculum vitea as follows.
