Testimonials

“Having my portrait painted by such a talented artist was a very pleasurable experience and I liked the piece an awful lot; Sherree was a delight to work with.”
Sir Michael Parkinson

“Following England’s World Cup triumph in 2003 I was honoured when Sherree Valentine Daines presented me with ‘Deliverance’, which I feel perfectly captures one of the most exciting moments of my professional career. Sherree demonstrates her true artistic talent by interpreting the determination and passion on the players’ faces during those final frantic minutes. I will always treasure the painting and am extremely proud to have it hanging on the wall as a reminder of an incredible experience.”
Jonny Wilkinson, England Rugby World Cup Champion

“It’s almost impossible to overstate the influence and contribution of Sherree Valentine Daines to the art world. This highly accomplished artist has successfully combined her passion and impressionist style with accurate and factual brushstrokes that bring together a unique commentary on the social scene and simple childhood innocence. Her work is as enduring as it is endearing, so how appropriate to have a tribute in book form to celebrate the life of an artist who will I am sure continue to be celebrated in centuries to come.”
Sarah Orton, Editorial Director, Picture Business (speaking about ‘First Impressions’.)

“Sherree Valentine Daines has a tremendous gift for observation that has remained as fresh as when she began, and her sophisticated compositional technique makes her an artist that stands out in the field. Her magnificent impressionistic oil paintings have been sold in the most prestigious galleries for a formidable 30 years.”
Christrose Sumner, Fine Art Trade Guild

“If I was asked to name my favourite artists working today, Sherree Valentine Daines would immediately spring to mind. With such a warm, spontaneous character I can’t help but feel that she was destined to paint sunny scene in an impressionistic style but how well she does them! The minimum of brushstrokes applied rapidly, together with wonderful handling of light and shade capture the very essence of a fleeting moment. Her figures stand or move naturally and she make us feel those breezy conditions flicking at dresses, hear the waves frothing onto the sand and overhear tete a tetes or children’s chatter. It takes immense artistic talent to convincingly evoke all that which is why Sherree Valentine Daines’s paintings are so inspirational and collectable.”
