Died: April 12, 2021. SHEILA Whimster, who has died aged 83, was a stalwart of the Glasgow Society of Women Artists (GSWA). As the artist-run Society’s honorary secretary for 32 years, a position for which she received a small honorarium which barely covered expenses, Sheila served under ten presidents. Each and every one would attest that without her doughty, determined and occasionally abrasive “management” style, this historic artist-run society would have long ago ceased to exist. The GSWA, which began life as the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists, was established in 1882 by a group of women art students from the Glasgow School of Art who realised that their work was not being considered on equal terms with that of male counterparts. Originally based in Blythswood Square, the Society boasted renowned members such as Jessie M. King, Mary Armour, De Courcy Lewthwaite Dewar and Norah Neilson Gray.
