Latest Work
My current art practice stems from and develops on from my rain paintings.
Taking the same subject matter but zeroing in on the characters in the rain, these latest pieces are mostly oil on gesso board, larger compared with their postcard counterparts. In these paintings I’m exploring mark making, directional or rain-inspired brushwork and layering colours, wet over dry.
I Let them Know Where I Am. Diptych © Sheri Gee. Oil on Gesso. 61 x 92 cm. 2022.
Working mother
The paintings each have a subtle narrative, dealing with introspection and rumination in the quiet moments snatched in a busy life. As a working mother, I’m interested in the all too brief quiet moments in the day, which for me were concentrated in the commute to work. Consequently, the women I depict are often enveloped in their own space, the umbrella, a personal protective space. The paintings reflect a snatched, quiet moment between the hectic responsibilities of work or motherhood. The solitary women are frequently enveloped, separated, by their umbrella enclosures, able to reflect and ruminate quietly.
If you’re interested in any of these works please get in touch.
