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, provide ideal subject matter for her work in oil and acrylic.
Always open to new concepts, she has explored various aspects of painting, experimenting with colour and design. Sheila's work can be seen in private and corporate collections across Canada, Great Britain, South Africa and the United States. Sheila is a member of the Calgary Sketch Club, a Signature member of The Federation of Canadian Artists and The New 7, a group of artists who desire to portray the Alberta landscape in all its glory.
