Sheena is noted for her large Ferro cement sculptures, palette knife oils, and gentle oil paintings and pastels. Paintings and sculptures focus on movement and stance, influenced by local settings. Her modernistic figures display interesting use of light and shade, often with a touch of humour.

Visitors can join a series of ‘interactive workshops’ with the artist, from June 8 - 12, 09h00 -10h00.. These include ‘use of palette knives in oil painting’ and ‘armature in sculpture’, when Sheena demonstrates the role of the framework around which a sculpture is built.
