Sheri Ann Marié Nicholls is a born and bred Barbadian artist, having grown up in the countryside and next to the sea, her love for the outdoors shows tremendously in her work.
Throughout her life, she has always been fascinated by the images of boats, the Barbadian landscape and how these worlds and the things they touch are represented.
She loves the idea of presenting her experiences of country life through her paintings, evoking the viewer with nostalgic emotions of by-gone days, its past-times and traditions and the contradictions, such subject matter can present with its existence with modern times. AnnMarié works predominantly in oils, acrylic, watecolour and mixed mediums.
