Sheila McClean, member of the ARUA, is a notable
List of painters#M|Irish painter, whose
impressionist style painting has led to her be
described as a "painter's painter".  Originally
from Moville and now living in Derry, she paints
the land and sea around her.

The late Derek Hill, a great admirer of her work,
said, "Her paintings capture the Donegal we all
feel in retrospect".

Joseph McWilliams, PPRUA, said, "Her landscapes
are painted landscapes, her boglands are
expressive marks of paint, on richly textured
surfaces redolent of bog cotton and dank brown
pools..... Her work reflects a deep understanding
of both place and paint".
