Cherilyn Martin (NL/UK)
English born Cherilyn Martin graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University with a B.A. in Embroidery. After further studying at Bristol University and gaining experience teaching at Art College and in Adult Education, she moved to the Netherlands, where she currently lives with her family.
Cherilyn uses the textile medium to portray her affinity with antiquity and tactile remnants of the past. She has developed an individual style through combining a passion for exploring the use of stitch with her interest in the quilted surface. Richly encrusted surfaces combined with the added dimension of quilting have been a constant feature in her work.
Cherilyn has recently been accepted as a member of the QUILT ART group. http://www.quiltart.org.uk/
