Following studies in France and Mexico, and living in Canada and Florida, artist Sheila Cotton returned to her native Arkansas and began painting her vision of the Southern landscape in all its color, mystery and eccentricities.
This vibrant body of work – “almost surreal in intensity, infused with spirit” – is represented in many significant art collections and is acclaimed by Cotton’s inclusion in the Encyclopedia of Arkansas.
