2009 2009 Adelaide Central Gallery. Norwood Balcony of Daydreams was a major studio work as part of my Degree based on an Adelaide mansion: Carrick Hill at Springfield. The interior space has rich layers of history as it houses an interior balcony and stairways that dates back to fourteenth century England. Again my work is a journey with interior space. The balcony and its shadow allow the viewer to move in a vertigous manner along its great expanse, visiting the various rooms which trails the length of the work.

2009 Carrick Hill, Springfield, Adelaide. South Australia. This exhibition is based on spatial ideas about Carrick Hill's interior which holds rich layers of history, the balcony and stairs date back to 15th Century England. Sheila’s art work investigates the way the collective and social memory is evident within this interior space. The viewer is asked to engage with fairly complex and improbable constructions. This contemporary mixed media work pushes the boundaries of illusion, denying the geometric of space to become structures of fantasy and imagination.

2007 2007 Royal South Australian Society of Arts. Adelaide. This image was part of a series of architectural works which was influenced by interior places and spaces in Rome, Sicily, and Barcelona. Architectural space provided a metaphor for me to explore and facilitate the imagery of journeying into the existential questions of being. The stairways, tunnels, passages and large spaces, the gates open or closed, explore meaning and the possible sense of entrapment or freedoms. The ideas set forth the premise that inhabiting or being inside architectural spaces is a physical, psychological and spritual state. They are all elements within our emotional and existential landscapes.

2004 2004 Regional Arts and Heritage, Hahndorf, SA This work is called Balanced. Up to this time my art work was involved with the human form. My love of Italy found me taking advantage of drawing and painting while I stayed with a traveling circus. The dramatic light, the wonderful color and the activity of the athletic bodies; balancing and performing with such visual stimulation for an artist who needed to practice enjoying the moment.
