Sheila Craft was born
in Wimbledon, Surrey, and was educated in Guildford and graduated
in Mathematics from Reading University. 
For ten tears she
concentrated on her career in mathematics before she discovered that she
had a talent for painting.
Slowly, art superseded
science. This change in direction was very much strengthened by the fact
that with her husband and young family, she moved to Pembrokeshire 14 years
ago, to run their holiday cottage business in the picturesque village of
Porthgain.
Now Sheila had a wealth
of scenes waiting to be painted on her very doorstep. Her love and understanding
of the mythical quality of the landscape are very evident in her work,
and she achieves effortlessly the luminosity of light so special and individual
to this part of North Pembrokeshire.
