Note: Born to Scottish parents in London, Sheila Macleod Robertson was a noted painter in oils of marines, seascapes and coastal scenes. Trained at Watford and the Central School of Art & Design, London. She quickly developed a particular interest in the light and mood of sea, coast and landscape. Held many successful solo shows in London and Scotland, including at The McEwan Gallery. Elected member, Royal Society of Marine Artists 1969, also professional member, St Ives Society of Artists. To increase her knowledge of weather and sea conditions of the western seaboard she cruised as a crew member on an ocean yacht. Her work, produced mainly with a palette knife, was regularly exhibited at the RI, ROI & RSMA. When not sailing, she lived in Edinburgh before retiring to Hertfordshire.
