Cheri was born and raised in Colorado and has had a lifelong love for art, from ancient art and civilizations, up to modern and contemporary art.

Old Storms With Yellow Frog

Having been classically trained in art, Cheri has studied many different forms including; oil painting, water media, photography and darkroom work, jewelry design, gemology and ceramics. Also, being attracted to all that digital technology has to offer, Cheri jumped into the world of digital art in 2004 and has enjoyed the self-taught learning journey as a result.

City Street

She's won several awards throughout her life and has been in numerous galleries, gift shops and juried shows.

Wildflower 7

At present, she has a studio in Colorado that she shares with her two Border Collies, Miss Hatfield & Durango Jazz.

Currently Cheri enjoys doing experimental, 2D mixed-media work, and is especially interested in salvaging old, fun things and recreating them into 3D assemblages. She continues to learn all she can and offers a wide variety of art in all styles and various media. Her love for wilderness and nature carry through much of her work and are themes she continues to explore. Other reoccurring themes center around basic human rights, women's rights, oppression and poverty as can be seen in her more critical work. She likes to balance out her serious side by also doing whimsical & fun projects, many of which are based on legends, myths and fairy tales.
