Sheila Wallis is a British artist noted for her highly realistic yet also imaginative paintins and drawings that include portraits, nude figure studies, and watercolors.
She came to my attention on Instagram for her illuminated illustrations that include the use of gilding.
Her choice of expressions, reflect a playful cynicism and humility that contrast with the elegant beauty of the natural frames and gold.
