Sheri Cowan's Local Print Series

4/8/2022

We are delighted to share the work of London artist, Sheri Cowan, who has painted an image of the original Embassy Hotel marquee. The Embassy Cultural House was located in the Embassy Hotel between 1983 and 1990. The original photo print is by Jane Bradley which Sheri has hand-embellished with acrylic paint on archival paper.

This artwork is part of a series that depicts local storefronts, signage and vintage objects. Alongside the Embassy Hotel, Sheri has painted the facades of many other London cultural landmarks, including Call the Office and Prince Albert's Diner (both closed as of 2021).

Beginning her career with 15 years as a graphic designer, Sheri Cowan has been a practicing artist for over 25 years. Thank you Sheri for this tribute to the legendary Embassy Hotel, a London east landmark and an image of a bygone but not forgotten era.

The ECH strives to create meaningful relationships between the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island and our contributors. The ECH honours the stewardship of the many Indigenous peoples who have resided on these lands since time immemorial.
