Biography
Cheryl Harrison is a contemporary Australian artist whose artistic journey spans back to the 1990s. Over the years, she has garnered a global following, with collectors from around the world admiring her work. Cheryl's artistic prowess has been showcased through solo exhibitions at esteemed galleries in prominent locations such as the Strand in London, Cambridge, and various cities in Cornwall including Truro, St. Ives, and Penzance.
During her time in the south of the UK, Cheryl immersed herself in the vibrant artistic community, rubbing shoulders with esteemed post-modern British artists like Sandra Blow, Terry Frost, and Barry Cooke. This period of her life greatly influenced her artistic development and contributed to her unique style.
Upon returning to Australia, Cheryl pursued further education, earning her Masters in Visual Arts from the Queensland College of Arts at Griffith University in Brisbane. Since then, she has continued to captivate audiences with solo exhibits in public and private galleries across Brisbane, Cairns, and Port Douglas.
Cheryl's studio is nestled in the tropical paradise of Port Douglas in Far North Queensland, where she finds inspiration in the stunning natural surroundings. Collaborating with her talented husband Pez, who is also an abstract painter, Cheryl creates art that reflects her deep understanding of mediums and processes. Each original painting is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, drawing from Cheryl's twenty-five years of professionalism.

Hello or good evening, Cheryl, you do excellent work. I don't know how you position yourself, I appreciate your place on the site, but I admit that sometimes I feel nauseous with these thousands of photos, so when I finally find an artist who makes me feel good, I tell them. Have a good week to you and your loved ones, and enjoy your journey of discovery in your world.

Original and refined artist, excellent technique, top+++
Hi there Cheryl, thanks so much for following my future work. I discovered your beautiful work recently and just love it - uplifting light, very exciting and stimulating. Amazing to know that you know Truro (the town I was brought up in) and that you know Cornwall so well. All my family have lived their for generations and I lived there until moving to France after my Fine Art studies in London. I am very influenced by Cornwall still, the light, color, the abandoned mines, the coast and the artists.
I'll be following you. Have fun. Best wishes, Helen
Thanks Helen, yes Cornwall gets under your skin, wonderful part of the world and like you still a big influence. Best Cheryl
I hope you can tell, I loved painting this piece, it just brings me such a feeling of joy and happiness whenever I see it, I don't know why.
