After taking time out to raise her family, she renewed her love of painting by taking a watercolour workshop in 1986 with Graham Scholes. Since then she has studied with many accomplished artists, and continues to develop her skills.
Sheila has exhibited her work with several local art groups and in juried art shows and studio tours.
Over the past 30 years Sheila has given art lessons to many children and adults in the Stayner area.
Sheila now lives in Barrie, Ontario.
