For years, Sheila was a woodworker in search of a spark. Her transition from craft to fine art was validated by the local arts community. Sought out by a gallery looking for the rare perspective of a female turner, Sheila began to see her work through a different lens. After seeing her pieces accepted and sold in local art exhibits, she finally retired the phrase, “I’m a woodworker, not an artist.” Today, her work represents the perfect marriage of raw nature and refined skill.
