Sheryl High Faces

6th August - 19th September  Greenhouse Gallery at Guernsey Museum Candie Gardens.

Guernsey Arts is delighted to present Faces an exhibition by Sheryl High. South African Artist based in Sark, Sheryl always had an interested in painting human faces, focusing on the shape, form and colour, capturing the people in her beautifully executed paintings. 

‘I’ve always loved drawing and painting, I have an uncle who was an artist in Zimbabwe where I grew up. He used to encourage his eldest daughter and I to try to “out draw/paint” each other, from as far back as I can remember, and then our parents would give us a score that evening. I’m pretty sure it was a way of keeping us busy and quiet, but the side effect was we both learnt a lot about colour and interpretation from an early age and also learnt to love art!’
