Obituary: Sheila Whimster, who turned the Glasgow Society of Women Artists into a major player in the art world


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.

A Life of Reading by Suzanne Snow
Growing up as a young girl in northern England, I had two passions. One was reading and the other was horses. One freed my mind to imagine I was a character in the stories I read and I was around eight years old when I began to invent my own. The second passion kept me firmly outdoors, and I quickly learned to appreciate the best of the weather when taking care of my pony in the worst of it. I will be ....

Agenda: Arts and humanities will help us rebuild after Covid


But we can’t forget the human aspect of our recovery too.
Our culture has changed considerably over the course of the last year. We have seen communities unite, while being forced to remain apart physically. We have relinquished our freedoms for the love of our elderly relatives or vulnerable strangers. While the virus has caused immeasurable grief for those that have lost loved ones, it has taken its toll on others through isolation, job loss, or poor mental health.
When we do emerge from this pandemic, the world will be a different place, but we have the opportunity to build a more inclusive, kinder society.
