Cheryl’s images are inspired by childhood memories of her grandfather’s ranch in the sprawling hills of Trabuco, California. “My soul longs for the simplicity and peace that resonates within old barns, abandoned homes, and vast meadows.” Her work combines digital painting and photography, blurring the lines between the two. It borders on fantasy, reality, and the pages of storybooks.

Cheryl is a self-taught visual artist specializing in digital art, iPhoneography, mixed media, and acrylic. She is also a texture designer and the co-creator of the Distressed FX iPhone photo-editing app. A city girl gone country, Cheryl currently resides in the hills of east Tennessee.

In the words of artist Jamie Heiden, “Cheryl’s artwork is of a magical world filled with butter skies, golden fields, crooked covered porches, guardian birds, sweetness, and, sometimes, sorrow. It allows us to look into that child’s face and see deeper, or reach out and touch that soft retriever’s ears. It is always a story: sometimes a fairytale, sometimes a poem, sometimes a page out of a diary.”

“Cheryl’s artwork is of a magical world filled with butter skies, golden fields, crooked covered porches, guardian birds, sweetness and sometimes sorrow. It allows us to look into that child’s face and see deeper or reach out and touch that soft retriever’s ears. It is always a story…sometimes a fairytale, sometimes a poem, sometimes a page out of a diary.

Her artwork is always inspiring and her kind words – encouraging. Her natural talents are enriched with, what I have gathered, her humility and grace.”
