EDUCATION
Sheila Neufeld attended Langara College in Vancouver, BC. She studied Art History and completed the Fine Arts Diploma Program in 2004.
STYLE
Sheila works with acrylic paints, gloss mediums, iridescent pigments and various textures to convey a luminous, multidimensional effect. She inlays her work with natural crystals and their sands to create “The Shimmer.” This effect gets picked up with different light sources to remind the viewer mystery and complexity of life.
