Opening Reception: December 2nd: Noon – 4:00pm
Sherrills' paintings have been described as “interiors-exteriors, combined still lifes – which are anything but still”. They may be set against a backdrop of flowing curtained windows or doors through which the outside can be viewed. The outside view complements and is integral to the interiors.
CHASE works with a rich palette ranging from bold primary colours to serene pastels. The viewer is invited to enter the painting and experience the whimsey and happiness portrayed within.
Ever versatile, in addition to still lifes, CHASE loves to paint pet portraits that are lifelike and capture the personality of each subject, bringing a smile to all who view her work.
CHASE has painted 29 train stations from Place Viger in Old Montréal, all the way up to the end of the Laurentian line, often braving the elements and painting en plein air. She has also done many paintings of old Montreal.
