Evening At Bracelet Bay Print

Sadly, Cherrill passed away on the 17th August 2016 after a short illness. She was only 67. Her family are keeping open this site in tribute to her memory and her work. The following is in her own words: I work in a wide variety of styles, ranging from traditional life studies to modern and post modern abstracts. Although I have often adopted realism in order to produce landscapes, portraits and life studies, my more recent work tends toward abstracts and semi abstract work, with the beauty of the local area influencing much of my painting. I have lived and worked in the Swansea area for most of my life and many of my paintings reflect the city's rich industrial past. I am very interested in finding positive and negative shapes in the natural elements and depicting them in an abstract style. My work has also been influenced by my love of music and I have always thought of music in terms of colour, for instance hot jazz and cool blues inducing riots of colour in my mind.
