Hand Painted Sherrin Football

Hand Painted Sherrin Football by Margaret Bloomfield (Keringke Arts).

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Margaret is related by marriage to the Young's - a Family that has been deeply involved at Keringke Arts since its conception in 1989, and is also the grand-daughter of Billy Benn, a well known landscape from Harts Range. Her mother-in-law is Josette Young.

Originally from Harts Range, Margaret moved to Santa Teresa in 2002, and began watching and learning from Mary and Evelyn Young. She soon discovered her own passion for painting. Margaret work is influenced by this strong relationship to Family. Margaret's work is distinctive, and will develop and strengthen in the years to come.
