About Me
Hello, and welcome to my site, my name is Cherry and I'm an artist living in the North East England. So, a little bit about me! Well I started life in sunny South Africa, my English father yearned to return to his homeland so at the age of 6, we all migrated to a very cold, very wet corner Britain. Here I began my artistic journey with some impressive stick men drawings and enough painted papier mache objects to warrant my mother banning me from the toilet roll cupboard.
I always loved being creative, for as long as I can remember. I made drawings and paintings for everyone I knew, spent painstaking hours on each one while my friends played with skipping ropes. I just loved the joy it brought to people, receiving my artwork. Not because I believed myself to be the re-incarnation of Picasso but rather because I knew I'd put every ounce of effort and passion I had, into producing something that was uniquely for them.
That is still how I feel today, I paint what inspires me, beauty in nature and man as well as beauty in line and colour. I love texture paste and impasto and the way it allows the artwork to come to life. I want my paintings to bring a smile to your face, be the finishing touch to a room or just something special, just for you.
So please, have a look around, enjoy yourself, share with a friend, join in a discussion in the Basement Blog or contact me directly with any questions, comments or requests.
Thank you for visiting!
