Provenance: The late Helen E.C. Cargill Thompson. Note: Dr Helen E C Cargill Thompson (1933 - 2020) has been recognised for her contribution to both librarianship and the art world. Born in Burma in 1933, on the outbreak of World War II she returned to Glasgow to live with her grandparents in Mirrlees Drive, close to Glasgow Botanic Gardens. Her great grand-uncle was a founder of Burmah Oil Company. Her love of art developed in the city’s Kelvingrove Galleries. Dr Cargill Thompson was educated at Cheltenham Ladies College and then read Physiology and Pharmacology at St Andrews University. She went on to do a PhD at Edinburgh University which was research into the contraceptive pill. In 1970, Dr Cargill Thompson began work at the Andersonian Library at Strathclyde University, being appointed as the Head of the library’s new Reference and Information Division in 1982. Close to retirement in 1999, she was awarded the Princess Royal Medal for services to the discipline. Dr Cargill Thompson’s collecting and patronage was in the family tradition. A well-known character in the West of Scotland, especially at exhibition openings and private views. She lived frugally using public transport around the city and never viewed her passion for collecting art as a monetary investment. Dr Cargill Thompson was a truly public-spirited Glaswegian and throughout her time at Strathclyde University she supported the Collins Gallery (closed 2013) and in 1999 she gifted a substantial part of her collection of contemporary art to the University and a portion of her contemporary silver collection to The Glasgow School of Art.

Here, encouraged by Cyril and Jill Gerber, Lesley began to exhibit more of her artworks winning various prizes and awards, such as The 1991 Scottish Prize, Royal Overseas League London. This gave her the confidence to concentrate on painting full-time. In 1999 Lesley was appointed 'Artist in Residence' at Edinburgh Zoo where her popular ''Urban Zoo'' exhibition gained funding from the Scottish Arts Council. Since this time Lesley has exhibited throughout the U.K. and as far afield as Singapore and the USA.

* SHERREE VALENTINE DAINES, SHARED MEMORIES II limited edition print on canvas board, signed and numbered 21/195 image size 42cm x 33cm, overall size 70cm x 61cm Framed. DeMontfort certificate of authenticity verso. Note: Sherree Valentine Daines has been at the forefront of British art for over 35 years – a truly remarkable achievement. Over this time she has been variously described as ‘the face of modern British impressionism, ‘artist to the stars’, (Daily Express) and ‘the finest figurative artist we have here in the UK” (Art of England). Her exquisite paintings have been exhibited at such prestigious venues as the Tate Gallery, the Barbican and the Lord’s Museum and is held in many corporate and private collections all over the world. Sherree is both the critic’s choice and the people’s choice, winning many high profile awards, and she has been officially voted the UK’s leading Modern Impressionist. A familiar face on our televisions she has appeared in programmes as varied as ‘To the Manor Bowen’ and ‘This Morning’; recently she was seen painting a £75,000 commission of a society bride in Channel 4’s documentary, ‘How the Rich Get Hitched’, and the reaction of the bride put all the other extraordinary elements of her wedding in the shade! Daines is unsurprisingly one of the UK's most successful print artists and her signed limited editions are highly sought after at galleries and at auction. Her superb illustrated hardback book "Your Days, My Days" is now in its second edition. Sherree’s unquestionable virtuosity has made her a favourite with many celebrity collectors including members of the British Royal Family and former Prime Minister Sir John Major. Many famous names in the world of show-business have sat for her including Joanna Lumley, John Sessions, Lord Sebastian Coe and Sir Michael Parkinson. She was also commissioned to paint portraits of Jonny Wilkinson and Martin Johnson for a pair of commemorative Limited Editions (signed by both artist and player). In 2017 she was honoured to paint a commemorative 100th birthday portrait of Dame Vera Lynn, and her most recent sitters have been celebrated British explorer, Sir Ranulph Fiennes and much-loved chef and broadcaster Rick Stein.
