Sherree Valentine Daines

uding one from the MCC to paint the Ashes series at each of the test grounds. Many famous names in the world of show-business have sat for her including Joanna Lumley, John Sessions and Michael Parkinson. She was also commissioned to paint portraits of Jonny Wilkinson and Martin Johnson for a pair of commemorative Limited Editions (signed by both artist and player) celebrating England's World Cup Victory; the Original of Jonny Wilkinson was bought by the man himself. In 2007 she has released a beautiful, highly-illustrated hardback book, First Impressions, as well as working on a TV series with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. Sherree prefers to use oil on canvas as she finds this to be the purest and "most painterly" medium available to her. She has exhibited at the Tate Gallery, the Barbican, the Royal Society of British Artists, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, the Laing Landscape Exhibition, the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, the Royal Watercolour Society, the Hesketh Hubbard Art Society, the New English Art Club, the National Society of Painters, the United Society of Painters and the Pastel Society. Sherree's work is also in the Lord's Museum and is held in many private collections all over the world.
