Sheila Sanford was born in Singapore in 1922 the daughter of Albert  Edward Thornley Jones a shipping agent. She was married to Roy Sanford and had three sons. Sheila was educated at Brentwood School in Southport. Sheila Sanford studied at St Martin’s School of Art in London.

Apart from her association with the RI and the Royal Miniature Society (RMS), Sheila was also member of the Miniature Art Society of Florida, USA with whom she regularly exhibits.

As a watercolourist, Sheila Sanford’s paintings remain unsurpassed in their richly detailed execution. Her success at numerous galleries throughout England and the accolade of being elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour (RI) and the RMS are proof in themselves of Sheila’s ability and dedication.

So greatly is her work admired that in 1982 she began to produce work for limited edition prints to meet the ever increasing demand for her paintings. Today prints and cards are published by Skittle Prints, the company specifically formed to market her work. These publications, like her original watercolours, have been tremendously successful. A series of cards were recently commissioned by the National Trust.

Sheila has been a prize winner with the Miniature Art Society in Florida for many years and also a finalist numerous times in the Hunting Group Prize Exhibitions in London as well as at the Royal Academy. She also has exhibited at the Hilliard Society, Edwin Pollard Gallery and Llewellyn Alexander.

Sheila lived in Dorset and much of her work is based on the landscape around her home. The hedgerows and hills, the lanes and villages with their farms and cottages are all features in her exquisitely detailed studies.  

Her work is in the permanent collections of the Miniature Art Society of Florida and Llewellyn Alexander Fine Art Ltd.
