Sheila Mather: Art Encounter
Artist Demo: Painting with Gold Leaf Saturday July 25 & August 1
For 25 years Sheila Mather worked as an independent designer/illustrator and owner of Fabric Graphics in Gastown, Vancouver. When she left the city for the slower pace of the Island, she transitioned to painting. Her earlier paintings were done in pastel. She won several major national and international competitions and was awarded Master Pastelist designation by Pastel Artists Canada. The dust from the pastels became a problem, so five years ago she transitioned yet again, this time to oil and acrylic painting, and painting on metal leaf. She mixes metal leaf colours, layers and textures the leaf and creates works which are both original and unique. Her solo show at our gallery features both her oil & acrylic landscapes, and her work on metal leaf.
