Sheila Anderson-Hardy | Studio Insights
The Scottish Gallery is delighted to present Sheila Anderson-Hardy’s first solo exhibition, Wild, which is a celebration and a testament: a celebration of the wild garden she has shaped over the past decade in the Scottish Borders, and a testament to the transformative power of living within nature’s cycles.
Filmed in her home and studio in the Scottish Borders, our short film with Sheila Anderson-Hardy offers a glimpse into her wild garden and the living world that has quietly grown to shape her work.
About Sheila Anderson-Hardy
Sheila Anderson-Hardy is a painter based in the Scottish Borders. Born in Portpatrick in 1956, she studied at The Glasgow School of Art, graduating with a Diploma of Art in 1979. Her work is inspired by close observation of hedgerows, field margins and woodland edges, where she studies the flora and wildlife that inhabit these overlooked spaces. Working with Sumi-e ink washes, watercolour and collage, she builds densely layered, delicately drawn compositions that focus on the small details that shape the wider landscape. Anderson-Hardy has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions and her work is regularly selected for national open exhibitions. She is a member of The Scottish Wildlife Trust and was elected a member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour in 2024.
