- Sheila Fell was born in Aspatria, Cumberland, in 1931, and became a landscape painter of note, using the Cumbrian landscape as her muse.
In 1963, she spoke to Monitor about Aspatria during one of her regular visits home, discussing her artistic methods both there and at her London studio, in Chelsea.
In 1955, aged 24, she reputed became the youngest artist to exhibit at London’s Beaux Arts Gallery, before combining her artistic career with teaching duties at the Chelsea School of Art in the years that followed. Sheila sadly died at the tender age of 48, in December 1979.
Clip taken from Monitor, originally broadcast on BBC Television, Sunday 23 June, 1963.

Melvin Bragg sounding exactly the same in 1963?! Extraordinary.
Bragg's voice has been a constant sense of comfort for decades. His 'In Our Time' is of incalculable worth & wonderfully English too.👍🏻
I thought that was Bragg but then dismissed it as it was 1963. Yes it was him without a doubt.
It's that unmistakable voice
@@spidyman8853 And quiff.
The BBC had some fantastic documentary makers back in the day, and we took it all for granted.
The camera compositions are incredible in this clip. The fog swallows the background and makes the lady look like she is part of a film! ❤ beautiful camerawork.
I love how they filmed it in a french new wave style. Lovely 👌
Wonderful footage! 💙
Beautiful paintings ☀️
A great painter she was.
Lowry admired her work.
It's so very sad that she died so young. I wonder what else she would have achieved had she lived.
Wonderful profile. 😊
Talented and beautiful ❤ Has that elphin look that Bjork did at the same age.
In our times Melvin Bragg, narrating this years before I was born! Amazing.
She’s new to me, but she has that cool elegant 60s look. I can imagine a photo of her appearing on one of The Smiths record covers. Morrissey must’ve been a fan, especially as she was Northern 🤩
Sheila Fell and took a bow, & threw her homework onto the fire.
@@GeorgeHarrisonDarkHorse almost but not quite, that The Smiths song is about Shelagh Delaney, the Northern playwrite who was roughly of the same generation as Sheila Fell.
From a time when television was good. I'd like to see more 'Monitor'.
What an appropriate surname!
She predicted to live to 104 in a Sunday Times interview in 1979 and was dead just before it was published.
Sheila Fell let me think a bit on young Cosey Fanni Tutti
Shout out for the old StMartins.
She came from Cumberland had a thirst for knowledge, she studied painting at St Martins college...that's where I.....caught her eye....
Shame it was B&W flim.
drunk heself to death at 48, just after an interview saying she wants to live till 104.
More accurately she died from injuries sustained in a fall downstairs whilst drunk, although it is fair to say that she battled alcoholism.
Elocution lessons?
She won a scholarship to the same school in Wigton that both Melvyn Bragg and Anna Ford attended. Given the time that she lived in it may have been to her advantage to cultivate a 'non-regional' accent when she moved to London, first as a student then a teacher of art.
Her paintings give me a headache
