In the not-so-distant past, Sheila could be found stalking around Boston with her camera or photographing musicians at local clubs and area festivals. In 2020 that all changed. Though the pandemic put a lot on pause, for Sheila and her photography, it provided a fertile new period to explore and discover her local surroundings. Capturing moments from her daily walks, Sheila began documenting what she saw using the hashtag #keepcalmandphotograph. This became an unexpected project and practice. It gave Sheila a way to manage the emotional overwhelm of the pandemic, to create a stunning visual record of the area's seasonal beauty, and served as testimony to the many benefits of slowing down and paying attention. Her photography has been licensed for album, commercial, fine art, news and community websites, and sold as prints and calendars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen she is not out with her camera, Sheila is busy writing.
