About Sheryl Lewis

Sheryl was born in Melbourne and studied a graduate diploma in Visual Arts at NMIT. Her multi-award winning work is represented in private and corporate collections throughout Australia, Japan and New York.

Her most noted award was for the painting ‘Following the Landscape’, one of a series selected by Maudie Palmer for exhibition in the Nillumbik Art Prize. ‘Following the Landscape’ also won the ‘People’s Choice Award’.

In 2018 three works of outback Australia were acquired by Eltham College of Education.

Sheryl has been a featured artist at the Canterbury Art Exhibition at Canterbury Primary and has exhibited annually since 1997. In 2008 she won best painting small works which was judged by Dr John Gregory, Senior Lecturer of Theory of Art and Design at Monash University. In 2015 'Night Moves Lorne' won 3rd prize in the small works.

In producing contemporary Australian landscapes, Sheryl draws upon the topography of the land, then paints what she visualises as most significant. Her work is ever evolving along with the landscape that she paints.  The work of Fred Williams and Philip Wolfhagen  have had the biggest influence in her work.
