Cheryl graduated with honors from the Art Institute of Atlanta (1981). Her course of study was Visual Communications/Graphic Design and her first creative job was staff artist at an advertising agency in Atlanta, GA. Not liking the advertising world, she left to pursue a life as wife and homemaker, painting as a hobby and exhibiting occasionally.
In 2016, she began to paint in professionally. Her work is sharp-edged abstract and surreal. She combines these movements in her compositions in oil or acrylic, creating captivating imagery in color and mood. Cheryl’s work has been exhibited and won awards at the local, state, national and international level. She currently lives in South Florida.
