Artist Sheila Fowler

A new addition to the gallery but already extremely popular with all, Sheila is based in her studio in Giffnock. She has an instantly recognizable style, thick brushstrokes, vibrant colours and delicate details. She is drawn to the beauty on offer in Scotland, evident in her paintings of Iona, Arran and other islands, with their sweeping beaches and jagged rock formations. Sheila has an energetic painting style, from the movement in her skies to the life in her flowers. Her beautiful colour palette ties into this sense of energy, seen below in the turquoise seas and golden shoreline. Bold texture is an important part of Fowler's work, her flowers come alive against their smooth backdrop, while a hint of pattern on the vase brings a contemporary edge to this traditional genre.
