    Biography
    Sheila Robinson was a printmaker, designer and illustrator. She was educated at Nottingham School of Art and the Royal College of Art where she also taught. Among her book illustrations was DH Lawrence's "Sons and Lovers". She also designed stamps for the Post Office and had done work for the BBC.

    Sheila Robinson exhibited a linocut 'Leaves' in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 1973.

    This is probably the same artist who illustrated the Oxford Illustrated Old Testament in the 1950s and whose work is in the Witt library at the Courtauld Institute.
