From the glamour of Royal Ascot’s races and impeccably-dressed socialites at the Henley Regatta, to live charity portraits of Surrey’s famous faces and the sun-kissed memories of our childhoods and cricket matches in our county, the modern masterpieces of renowned Surrey artist Sherree Valentine Daines flawlessly captivate timelessness.

Born and raised in Surrey, Sherree trained at Epsom School of Art, while she and her large family have lived in Mickleham, just outside Dorking, for 26 years. “I have always lived very close to my parents as we are a very close family,” she says.

Not just close, they’re also a very creative family. “My husband, Mark Rowbotham, is a fabulous painter and beautiful colourist, my son, Charlie, paints lots of wonderful cafés and street scenes, while my eldest daughter, Lettice, trained as a classical violinist, performing and writing her own music, and reached the final of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent a few years ago. Bunty is a sculptress and paints, too, and our youngest, Felicity, who has just graduated in fine art, is also a sculptress and painter.”
