An art exhibition featuring the works of an iconic Cumbrian artist will be held later this year.
Tullie in Carlisle will exhibit Sheila Fell: Cumberland on Canvas, from November 23, 2024, to March 16, 2025, with a venue spokesperson calling it a ‘privilege’ to host the largest ever exhibition of her work, bringing together over 100 pieces of art.
Sheila Fell’s work is nationally-renowned and she was championed by L.S Lowry, who said in 1968 that her paintings are what he liked best out of all contemporary artists.
A description of the artist and her work on the gallery’s website reads: “Sheila Fell: Cumberland on Canvas will be the first major retrospective of Fell’s work in over thirty years.

“This exhibition brings together almost 100 works from private and public collections across the country from the likes of Tate, National Portrait Gallery, Royal Academy, and those much closer to home, Abbot Hall and The Nelson Thomlinson School.
“It has been curated by Eleanor and Andrew Bradley, who have compiled a comprehensive catalogue raisonné of Fell’s work, set to be published in spring 2025.”
