Sheila Ottley
Biography
Sheila is a figurative and landscape artist who works from home and regularly exhibits locally both in group and solo exhibitions.
A versatile artist she uses a variety of media including pastel, watercolour, oil and acrylic. She experiments with texture, light, colour and shape using site sketches and photographs.
“I have been drawing and painting since childhood and I have tried to reflect experiences that have affected me emotionally. For example, DAMIEN OF BANTRY BAY, was painted after I was enthralled with the incredible musical talent of a man in Bantry marketplace.
I stopped, like many others, for some time to listen to the huge range of music this man could play. It was a moment in time that I felt I had to work to record in order to share those feelings with the viewer.
I am particularly drawn to the work of the impressionist artists such as Renoir, Lautrec, Degas and Van Gogh. I am constantly stimulated by the work of these men and contemporary artists such as John Blockley and Mark Leach”
