sheila rodger

Sheila Rodger was born and raised in Glasgow but spent many years teaching in London. Having lived in cities most of her life, she found the beauty of the Scottish landscape inspiring and now lives and works from her studio in Argyll. Although originally a landscape painter, over the last seven years Sheila has focused on Collagraph Printmaking, heavily inspired by the natural environment of the west coast of Scotland. The word collagraph comes from the Greek word meaning glue and meaning the activity of drawing. "Using mountboard as a plate, I cut into the board and add different textured materials such as Carborundrum, lichen, oatmeal, acrylic medium etc., to create the plate. The plate is then protected with shellac. Different tonal qualities are achieved as a result of the depth of intaglio (the parts cut away) and the differentiated inking from the highly textured surface (relief). Each original print is hand-inked with intaglio oil-based ink and wiped to expose the texture. As a result, each print is unique.”
