Artwork Description

Sweeping brushstrokes and sharp black and dark blue lines chart a raw, instinctual energy across the large canvas. Warm terracottas and deep ochres, oranges and greys collide, mimicking the ancient, unyielding pulse of the earth. Movement dictates the composition, capturing the friction between chaotic forces and deliberate space.

PLEASE NOTE: This painting is acrylic on un-stretched canvas and comes rolled in a tube. (Requires Stretching/Framing to hang)

STRETCHING & FRAMING OPTIONS:
I like to offer my collectors the chance to purchase my paintings either:

- UN-STRETCHED - artwork shipped rolled in a tube.

- STRETCHED ONLY - artwork professionally stretched and wired ready to hang. This highlights the artwork edges which allows the painting to seamlessly extend around all four edges, and looks great without the additional cost of purchasing a decorative frame.

- STRETCHED & FRAMED - artwork professionally stretched and framed with a choose of either a white, black or natural wood finish, then wired ready to hang,

For stretching and/or framing, utilise Bluethumb’s framing options to the right of screen above the 'ADD TO CART' button.

“I’ve lived a little. I’ve travelled a lot. My work is an expression of life experiences good times and bad. I begin with a feeling and end wherever the music and the paint takes me. I’m not trying to answer life’s riddles, it’s more like… this is how I’m feeling."

~

A practising professional artist since the 1990’s; Cheryl has amassed a long list of collectors around the world along with solo exhibitions from galleries on the Strand in London, Cambridge and in Cornwall at Truro, St.Ives and Penzance. In the south of the UK is where she lived and immersed herself for five years amongst some of the last of the great post modern British artists such as Sandra Blow, Terry Frost and Barry Cooke.

Since returning to Australia, Cheryl has completed her Masters in Visual Arts at the Queensland College of Arts at the Griffith University Campus in Brisbane and has gone on to solo exhibits in public and private galleries in Brisbane, Cairns and Port Douglas.

Cheryls studio is based in Port Douglas, tropical Far North Queensland, where she loves creating each day alongside her talented husband Pez, also an abstract painter.

Cheryl has developed a deep understanding of mediums and process and puts every ounce of her twenty five years of professionalism into each original painting, from the construction of bespoke stretchers to the preparation and packaging of each work. Her pieces are unique, high quality and absolutely collectable.
