"As a member of the Board for Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning, I led the committee to review designer portfolios and recommended we hire Sheila to work with us on our catalog, advertising and website. Since that time, Sheila has done an outstanding job creating a new look for us and a catalog that not only looks exciting but works hard at achieving our business goals. She listened well to our needs, responded with good ideas, effective design and worked well with us to produce the final product."

"The art of book design incorporates visual style, voice, format, design elements and sequencing to create a coherent whole. Sophisticated, creative typography ties it all together. And, like most good design, when it works it's invisible. In designing A Father’s Gift Sheila was not only professional and creative but sensitive to the changing story of agriculture and its effect on families in Vermont. That sensitivity is communicated through the design of the book making this small book a very successful book that has touched the heart of many."

Creating the artwork to convey a message is perhaps the most difficult and most rewarding thing I do as a digital artist/illustrator/designer. Whether that artwork is a drawing for a children's book, an architectural schematic, a pastel, painting, 3-dimensional sculpture or using plants like an ink block, the process is always different, exciting and challenging.
"Not only is Sheila a sophisticated, creative designer but she has a quick, keen eye for light, composition and content that allows her to grab that shot at just the right moment with a minimum of equipment. She was able to get the candid, up close photographs that say so much about individuality at the same time that she got the big stage shots that sell tickets and speak to audiences looking for exciting productions."
