Sheila O'Sullivan Studied at Chelsea School of Art (Painting and Drawing) and Sir John Cass School of Art, Florence. Sheila has enjoyed a full and exciting life from her early years in New Zealand, dancing in the London West End shows of Ivor Novello and Noel Coward, entertaining troups in World War II, travelling widely throughout the world and continually expressing herself through her brilliantly coloured paintings and drawings. Sheila’s landscape and figurative oil paintings are full of dramatic and vibrant colour. The pictures reveal her past as a dancer and her many travels throughout the world. Her expressive use of oil paint is felt through the sensitive brush strokes and impasto quality of the picture surface. The colours sing with feeling of the landscape or envelop the figure creating a mysterious and magical atmosphere. Sheila uses the aquarelle sketches initially made on her travels and creates the radiant oil paintings in her Portobello Road studio.
