Cherylene works primarily in oils, her paintings combine traditional techniques such as glazing and scumbling, with evocative storytelling, creating works that feel both intimate and enigmatic. Her subjects often appear simple at first glance; a woman in a swimming cap, a man singing among birds, but beneath these surfaces lie deeper narratives of vulnerability, longing, and authenticity.
Graduating with honours from the Glasgow School of Art in 1998, where she was awarded the Benno Schotz Prize for drawing, Cherylene has built an accomplished career spanning over two decades. Her work has been widely exhibited across the UK and Europe.
Deeply influenced by contemporary culture and social media, her recent work reflects on the contrast between outward appearances and inner realities, examining how we present ourselves and what lies beneath.
Cherylene’s work has been featured in Homes & Interiors Scotland, The Glasgow Herald, and Sunday Mail, and she continues to exhibit regularly while working on private commissions and sharing her love of painting through teaching.
