I first met her when she asked me to help build part of her website and got to know her and her incredible history. Not only was Shelagh incredibly open-minded and sharp, but she was also extremely generous. I am an artist of half her age but Shelagh was always keen to look, listen, discuss and support my practice. She was never condescending and was always eager to understand new things. Her inventiveness, her enthusiasm for creative output and high standards was infectious. It is a rarity. The time I spent in her company taught me many things and she was always a laugh. The world will be darker place without her, I will miss her.<br /><br />I intend to try and keep Shelagh's site online in some form and maybe to add to it if it is appropraite. Any additional material available would be welcome.Ben Covehttp://www.bencove.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407560552805658571.post-50543030536326202242011-03-25T12:45:42.577+00:002011-03-25T12:45:42.577+00:00As a friend of Shelagh's for almost 20 years I...As a friend of Shelagh's for almost 20 years I too feel that I wish I had learned and shared more with her. Your posting is excellent and I agree with everything you said. She was a very special British person, yes not insularity like so many here. She welcomed different, she laughed and joked and played with life in ways we all need to learn from. I am so very sad to lose her. And yes her work was overlooked and lets hope this can change. thank you for writing this.
