ABOUT YOUR ART PRACTICE

• Installation
• Mixed Media
• Painting

Inspired by the peace, beauty and soulful energy that comes with spending time in nature, Sherrise’s artwork simplifies shapes and colours found in our local landscape to create whimsical, beautiful acrylic paintings full of colour.
Based on the magical surrounds of the southwest and some of her adventures more further afield, Sherrise applies different techniques to capture texture and bush spirit in her paintings.
Using shapes of foliage, landscape formations, nuts, seeds and flowers as inspiration, Sherrise leans on her graphic design background to illustrate natures jewels in a composition to hopefully lead you down the hiking trail and a place of relaxation.
“I find there is no better way to rejuvenate myself than to take a peaceful moment to immerse one’s mind and body in nature. A walk along the beach, bush or forest walk or a quiet place to sit and observe the flora and fauna is a moment in meditation. The rugged and intricate beauty of this wonderful south west corner is bathed in positive energy, enlightening the soul. We are so lucky to live and visit here”.
Creative expression had been an integral part of Sherrise’s entire life. However over the past ten years she has been working with children and young adults to help them achieve a sense of well-being through their own artwork and creativity, as well as continuing to develop her own art practice.
She has lived on three continents in remote areas and loves connecting with nature, respecting the ancestors of the land and finding beauty all around. She is now fortunate enough to live in Quindalup on Wadandi Boodja with her husband and teenage children surrounded by the perfect mix of bushland and the turquoise waters of Geographe Bay.

Inspired by the peace, beauty and soulful energy that comes with spending time in nature, Sherrise’s artwork captures shape and colour found in our local bush and beach-scape.

Uploading your images

The process has changed a little this year;

Step 1 – Add 1 image that best represents your work for the printed Event Guide

Step 2 – Add an additional 9 artwork images and studio portraits for our marketing team

Step 3 – Add up to 10 images for your website listing – they can be the same or different to the images above

Step 4 – Add one main image for your website listing.

Each image must be 300dpi, between 2.5MB and 5MB, and formatted as a jpeg file.

Re-name all files to include your name, artwork title, year created, medium and size before uploading e.g., Jane Doe_Wild Seascapes_2018_Oil on canvas_10x10cm.

Please ensure the filenames contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores or hyphens. Special characters such as punctuation will cause the upload to fail.

Please add a photographer credit to the file name if required by the photographer.

(Note: we love to use smiling, welcoming studio portraits to promote MRROS on social media)

Studio Details

I am fortunate enough to have a studio space in a beautiful bush setting in Quedjinup. It is on a bush block just outside of Dunsborough, rustic but functional and beautiful.

I will be painting during Open Studios and am happy to share my process and and thoughts behind each piece.

• carpark
• access
• family
• refreshments

• No steps or barriers, steep inclines, uneven or loose surfaces
• Paths are clear from the carpark
• Suits a walking frame or wheelchair

• There is a sign that everyone can see for emergency evacuation

• Ensure that there is adequate space between your furniture and displays

• Perhaps this is mitigated by a ramp.
