Corporate Collection, Ontario.

Note:

Sheila Maki is known for her densely layered prints and mixed media works, and more recently for her drawings and paintings. Whether created with monoprint, silkscreen, watercolour, acrylic or pastel, Maki's imagery is inspired by human figures and landscapes as well as the visual ephemera of everyday life. She has shown in more than 60 solo and group exhibitions in Canada and around the world, notably at the World Print Shows in California and the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. Maki's work was showcased in the Four Artists Printmakers traveling exhibition at the Etobicoke Long Branch Library (1975) and the Spirit of Freedom at Oshawa's Robert McLauglin Gallery (1994-95) and in their accompanying catalogues. Active in the Greater Toronto Area since 1969, Maki's works appear in many private and public collections, such as the Temiskaming Art Gallery.
