Artists Detail - Jean Sher - www.thestudiogallery.com.au

I studied Graphic Design in South Africa and worked as a Medical Artist in London, and later as a storyboard artist in the Advertising industry. For many years I painted botanical works as a hobby. Over the past 20 years I have painted our elegant tree shapes found at Rottnest, and in the paddocks and around the bays of our south west region in Western Australia. I paint from memory – trees, clouds, reflections, a moon, a star, the ever changing light of day, and most of all, I hope to capture a moment in time. I have found a saying by the 19th century French photographer, Louis Daguerre, which says it all for me. “I have seized the light. I have arrested its flight!”
