Art Exhibition: Cherie Wheatcroft

Internationally renowned Bournemouth artist, Chérie Wheatcroft, will be presenting her fourth art exhibition at the Regent in Christchurch.

Cherie will have around 40 examples of her work on display in the exhibition. Cherie is one of Dorset’s leading artists and is currently the Artist in Residence at Place Mill Gallery on Christchurch Town Quay between April and October.

Chérie specialises in African wildlife scenes, especially when set against the vivid colours to be seen at dusk and dawn in the bush. Elephants, leopards, crocodiles, zebras, meerkats and hornbills are all on display in the exhibition. In addition, she has made several trips to Botswana to study local wildlife in its habitat. Her work certainly captures all the realism of seeing her subjects first hand.

Chérie will also have a series of local scenes on display including: Poole Harbour, Sandbanks, Hengistbury Head, Mudeford Quay, River Avon, Stanpit Marsh, Bournemouth Pier and the Town Bridge in Christchurch.
