Sheila Girling

Sheila May Girling, Lady Caro (1 July 1924 – 14 February 2015) was a British artist who worked across painting, collage and clay. She was one of the first British artists to use acrylic medium and is known for working directly on the floor to immerse herself in the detail of her canvases. Girling was married to the sculptor Sir Anthony Caro.

Girling was born in Birmingham and studied at the Royal Academy. Her first solo exhibitions were in Canada, but she exhibited widely in Britain and the United States. Her works are in the collections of The Yale Centre for British Art (New Haven), Insitut Valencià d’Art Modern (IVAM, Valencia) and the Royal Collection Trust, as well as in many private collections across the world.
