Cheryl Liston is a fulltime, self-taught professional artist living in South Cambs.

Originally specialising in watercolour from 2001 until 2019 she took on aa new challenge of working with traditional oils and is now the medium she works with most. 

With a love colour and especially enjoys painting the sea and all things coastal, Cheryl finds something so uplifting about the vastness of the skyline sitting over the ocean. Drawn to the beauty of ever changing landscapes, sunrises, sunsets and moody skies and she captures these atmospheric elements in her paintings by embracing colour, light and tone and enjoys creating paintings that have a sense of calmness and atmosphere.​

​

​​Cheryl’s painting style is evolving with the addition of her vertical abstract paintings, which allow her to experiment with colour even further, building up layers of buttery oil paint using a palette knife.  This painting style is becoming very popular and Cheryl creates may bespoke commissions for her client wanting specific colour palettes.

​​Cheryl’s watercolours that have a similar painting style to her oil work, keeping brush strokes loose whilst using a wet in wet process, allowing the colours to merge.  Subtle details are then added using artist ink pens.

​

​​​​As a member of Cambridge Open Studios and Visual Artist Association, Cheryl enjoys attending art fairs and exhibitions throughout East Anglia and loves meeting fellow artists and art lovers.

​

​A selection of Cheryl’s paintings are available in Wells-Next-The-Sea at Metamorphosis, The Gallery, where she works once a week with fellow artists.
