Cherie Grist studied Fashion Styling and photography at the University of Arts London before focusing on her creative practise. She is a full-time Artist and Director of 104 Duke Street Studios which is an Artist studio gallery space.
'My main objective as an Artist is to document my journey through our ever-changing world, observing, growing and learning with every situation life presents. I absorb and take inspiration from everything I encounter on a daily basis then store them up until I am ready to express what it is I need to say. My process is always automatic, from the paint used to the method in which I apply the marks. By having these visual references around me I can begin to understand more about myself and about the world I live in and I see them all as self-portraits.
Cherie has been shortlisted for the John Moore’s Contemporary Painting Prize, the National Open Art prize and the Cass Art Prize and has had numerous exhibitions in both London and Liverpool.
