It’s often said that the right art can turn a house into a home. Transforming bare walls and adding a focal point to a room, art can reflect your personality and help to whisk you away after a stressful day.
Choosing a piece of art can at first seem daunting. With so many styles, artists and types to choose from, where do you begin? The first thing to remember is that it’s all about personal choice. Whilst art does enhance a room you shouldn’t choose a piece simply because of how it appears to visitors. After all, you’re the one who will see it every day so you need to make sure it’s a piece that you love and feel connected to.
Have a think about what images appeal to you. Do you like abstract art that merely hints at its subject? Do you prefer scenes of nature or animals? What about people? Do you want them to feature heavily in your chosen piece? For many, figurative art speaks to them above any other type of imagery. Often evoking memories, it tells a story and sets out a scene.
If you’ve narrowed your chosen art to figurative pieces then you may like to consider the work of Sherree Valentine Daines. A well known artist, she paints typically British impressionist art. Depicting society scenes as well as images from her own childhood, her work captures the essence of days out in Britain. From kite flying on Box hill to gloriously sunny days at the seaside, the work of Sherree Valentine Daines is both enjoyable and cleverly observed.
Boasting an impressive track record, Sherree Valentine Daines has exhibited at iconic galleries including the Tate, Barbican and the New English Art Club. She can also boast ownership of her art work to include the Royal Family. Stars like Joanna Lumley and Michael Parkinson have enjoyed sitting for her and she is the official artist for the Rugby World Cup. Not bad for a lady who started her career as a legal secretary.
