Sunset Ecstasy at the Ladysmith Gallery

Sheree’s creative soul has flourished since her early years in high school as a member of the Art Club. As time went by she enjoyed many art fields: ceramics in her 20’s and 30’s and folk art in her 40’s. Workshops, community college courses, life drawing, continues to this day.
In 2002 at the age of 43 Sheree lost her husband to cancer – she picked up a brush and she has never looked back. “ It was the most difficult time of my life, I was lost, depressed, drinking, and close to suicide….but my brush, my pallet saved me….and continues to be my refuge.”
Sheree worked in Watercolor for 20 years and has sold her work in many countries on the globe, particularly during a few years when sailing became another refuge. Her work was sold in the BVI’s, the Azores, Portugal, Spain, Mexico, and of course her many homes in Ontario and BC. She incorporates her love of the outdoors and nature in many forms of her work and her famous sunset and sunrise creations are her particular flair. In 2022 Sheree took an in- depth course and has been working in Abstract Realism Acrylics, her new love, since then. Energy, colour, landscapes, weather, beaches, are all studies that transform into her passionate creations with her brush!!
