She attended the Rosary Matriculation School in Chennai and attained a pre-university degree from Stella Maris College, Chennai. She enrolled in the Bachelors in Architecture from the Anna University School of Architecture and Planning in 1973, at a time when there was a strong bias against women entering the field and the Dean of the School of Architecture questioned "whether women students deprived men of a career"[50]

As an only child, she was encouraged to train in Classical Indian Dance, Music and the Arts from a very young age and started learning Bharatanatyam when she was just four years old. Sheila demonstrated an exemplary talent as a Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi dancer,[51] while she also had an extraordinary gift for the Veenai musical instrument. Besides music and dance, she excelled at painting and sculpting. She performed her Bharatanatyam Arangetram to critical acclaim at the age of Six in Mumbai, under the training of Sri Kalyanasundaram Pillai, Govindaraya Pillai and Mahalingam Pillai. Padma Bhushan Dhanvanthi Rama Rau who presided over her Arangetram, was the first person to call her a child prodigy for her extraordinary talents.[45] Over a period of nearly two decades as a performing artist,[52] Sheila gave several notable performances as a dancer of Bharatanatyam[53] and Kuchipudi.[54] Her family moved to Chennai to give her greater opportunities in the Classical Arts and to be trained in Bharatanatyam by Sri Dandayudha Pani Pillai. At the age of eight she was recognized for her role as Krishna in Padma Bhushan Kumari Kamala's dance drama, "Nauka Charitram".

As a Veenai artist, she has the distinction of playing, composing and recording Radha Madhavam and Sivaleela Vilasam with the world-renowned Veenai musician – Chitti Babu.[23]

She is noted for using local arts, culture and heritage as a feature of architectural design.[57] She is the foremost contemporary Indian architect to use Indian art and culture as an integral driver of design, to achieve Reciprocity or Holistic Sustainability.[58][59] She continues to be an active patron of the Arts.

She is regarded as the originating face of the indo-centric design thinking movement as a solution to problems on a global scale[26][72][73]

It set a blueprint across India, as the most effective and low cost solution for addressing the crisis of depletion of freshwater sources in India.

Many of the leading daily's published a series of articles about the event and also covered the competition at length.
