Cherry is a self taught artist who explores the beauty, detail and complexity of the wonderful world around us, particularly its animals and nature. She likes to use many types of media and is versed in pyrography, pastels, watercolour, coloured pencils and oils. Cherry also loves the heightened detail in botanical illustration and often uses these techniques alongside many others to create her eclectic variety of art forms.
Cherry often uses the art of pyrography within her work to burn or scorch designs onto natural materials and surfaces, such as wood panels and rag paper. Inspired by her fascination with colour, pigment and materials, Cherry is at her happiest when she is able to bring them together to create a piece of art.
Cherry has had her work shown at the Wildwood Gallery on Dartmoor, the Derwent Pencil Museum at Keswick, The Wildlife Art Society International, and the South West Academy Fine and Applied Art Open Exhibition 2019. Her work sells well, and is in private collections both in the UK and overseas. She also runs workshops for beginners to more advanced pyrographers in which people have an opportunity to learn the essential techniques and to experiment with new ones.
Cherry lives in Devon, UK.
