Scottish born, Sheila Adams
came to Canada in 1956 and made Calgary her home where the rugged beauty
of Western Canada, with its Rocky Mountains, Foothills and Alberta
plains, provided ideal subject matter for her work in Oil and Acrylic.
Always open to new concepts, she has
explored various aspects of painting, experimenting with color and
design. Sheila's work can be seen in private and corporate collections across Canada, Great
Britain, South Africa and the United States.
Greatly influenced by artists such as
Norman Brown who was one of Alberta's most proficient and knowledgeable
artists, and Jean Geddes a superb teacher and artist in her own right,
Sheila is also a member of the Calgary Sketch Club and The Federation of
Canadian Artists, and in March 1996 was awarded signature status with
the Federation.
Sheila is represented by
Webster Galleries Inc., one of Calgary's leading fine
art galleries, located at 812 - 11th. Ave. SW, T2R 0E5 where
more of her work can be seen on the Webster Galleries website
