Shiels’ artwork has been exhibited in museums, juried and invitational exhibitions in 11 states, Bermuda and France. In addition, she was a participant in the MFHA Bicentennial Traveling Exhibit.

This week’s cover, Inseparable, a 30″ x 30″ oil on linen, is included in the book Indian Hill: A Point Of View, which was published in the spring of 2008.
