Sheila Anderson-Hardy
My attention is invariably drawn to the wild banks and untouched woods and field margins, with their abundance of flora and fauna, observing their transformations through the seasons. I focus on the small elements which make up the bigger picture. I seek to highlight and celebrate the beauty of the seemingly inconsequential.
Sheila Anderson-Hardy studied at The Glasgow School of Art in the late 70s under Alexandra Gardener and James Cosgrove. She is now a full time painter based in the Scottish Borders. She combines Sumi-e ink washes, watercolour and collage to depicts landscape, verges and hedgerows and her encounters with the wildlife that inhabit these spaces. Her work is densely layers and delicately drawn. As well as several successful solo and group exhibitions her work is regularly selected for prestigious national open exhibitions.
