SHEILA SCHOLES

Contemporary Artist | Knutsford, Cheshire, England

 

Sheila Scholes is a British artist and textile designer whose work is defined by a joyful celebration of nature, colour, and craftsmanship. Based in Knutsford, Cheshire, she works primarily in painting and printmaking, with a particular passion for floral subjects. Her compositions often feature expressive, botanical forms brought to life through her distinctive use of yellow—a colour she returns to time and again for its warmth, light, and emotional resonance.

 

Her creative journey has always run parallel to a love of restoration. Sheila, together with her husband, has spent decades rescuing and transforming neglected historic properties, including the once-abandoned Houghton Manor. This spirit of renewal is echoed in her artwork, which balances delicate detail with a vibrant sense of life and revival.

 

A former textile printing business owner with international experience, Sheila's artistic practice is rooted in a belief that beauty can be rediscovered and reimagined—whether on canvas or within crumbling walls.
