Sheila McGregor’s practice spans painting, acrylics, printmaking, fibre arts, and design, shaped by formal study, artist residencies, and mentorship with Jane Bonnell. Working both en plein air and in the studio, she employs gestural sketches with pre-mixed complementary palettes to capture spontaneity, while her studio paintings build up luminous layers. Her imagery draws on the structure and rhythm of music, integrating expansive natural forms and the use of negative space. McGregor’s work is intended to convey hope and beauty, offering encouragement and comfort to viewers facing adversity.
