Cheryll Kinsley-Potter
Painting her Experiences
By Lynda Cookson
What is the ideal way to be an artist? Cheryll Kinsley-Potter’s immediate answer is : Every artist needs a wife!
For the creative juices to flow, the music to take effect, new ideas to keep developing, and for intuition to have space to be felt, someone else has to be doing the cooking, cleaning and general running of the household. So every artist needs a wife. She is quite right.
Blunty-ended scissors in nursery school are Cheryll’s first memory of her affinity with art. She used to be surrounded by her classmates asking her to cut a circle, or a moon, or a dog, or a cat for them, but it was not until she was ten years old that she attended her first school art class and produced a stunning charcoal sketch of a vase.
