The Salt Lake Art Center in collaboration with Park City's Meyer Gallery, proudly presents Sheila Norgate, Canadian painter and author in Nice Girl/Bad Girl: The Incredible True Story of One Woman's Psyche, a lively and provocative talk and slide presentation recounting Norgate's evolution as a self-taught visual artist and her near fatal battle with Nice Girlism. Norgate's presentation spans over 25 years of artwork, from her petite and tentative watercolor landscapes, to the string and full-scale canvases appearing in galleries throughout North America. Norgate takes her viewers along the bumpy ride from art dabbler to full-fledged painter, and introduces us to the cast of psychic characters that have inhabited her life as a 'recovering nice girl.' She recounts how an impulse to make art arose out of the chaos of debilitating illness and how an ex-banker with no training in the arts and no particular aptitude made for herself a successful and meaningful career as a painter. It's a tale about finding one's place in the world, about finding one's place in the world, about finding one's voice. It's a tale about it never being too late.
