Sheila segal

Montreal-based artist Sheila Segal has, since the 1970s, developed a practice combining drawing, sculpture, and printmaking. Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts de Montréal, the Saidye Bronfman Centre, and Concordia University, she draws inspiration from close observation of the natural world (plants, insects, birds, bats) to explore the delicate balance of life cycles. Her process involves collecting, transforming, and assembling natural fragments with mutable materials such as wax, clay, wire, paper, and found objects. Fascinated by what is unseen, she creates poetic connections between small, seemingly insignificant details and the greater whole of the living world. Winner of multiple awards, Segal has exhibited in Quebec, across Canada, and internationally, with works held in major public and private collections.
