I’m Cheryl Barwell, a mosaic artist who has been based just outside Ellesmere in North Shropshire for the last 4 years.
In my portfolio are decorative and functional items including house numbers, tables, mirrors, art pieces and business signs. I create designs of all shapes and sizes. Commissions welcome.
I also run mosaic workshops in Ellesmere.
I am on Facebook @CherylBarwellMosaics and on Instagram @cherylbarwellmosaics if you want to see more of my work or to message me.
The piece in the exhibition is a 3-panel screen approx. 4 ft high and 5ft wide. It is made of Bisazza glass and Bisazza gemme tiles (which are glass with gold veins running through them), the pieces were all individually cut by me. I made it over a 6 month period alongside other projects.
It is called ‘Amazonia’ and has representations of animals, plants and trees found in the Amazon rainforest. My favourite elements are the jaguar and the central tree which represents the trees you find sticking up above the rainforest canopy.
