Sylvia Vignoles Sherwood was born in Uruguay of British parents in 1943.
Her love of art and proficiency to handle colours was evident from her
youth, when she started weaving tapestries. In 1973, she participated in her
first important exhibition. Nine years later, after ten very successful
exhibitions of her tapestries (including one in the Museum of Visual Arts
in Buenos Aries, Argentina) she moved to Lima, Peru, and concentrated on
painting in oils, which, until then, she had studied while giving preference to
weaving. In Peru, later in Equador and when she returned to Uruguay, she
continued her painting studies and has had six individual exhibitions of
her paintings and participated on over 40 exhibitions in different countries
(including the UK and USA). |
