In 1963, she spoke to Monitor about Aspatria during one of her regular visits home, discussing her artistic methods both there and at her London studio, in Chelsea.
In 1955, aged 24, she reputed became the youngest artist to exhibit at London’s Beaux Arts Gallery, before combining her artistic career with teaching duties at the Chelsea School of Art in the years that followed. Sheila sadly died at the tender age of 48, in December 1979.
