Biography:
During the late 80’s, Cheryl started oil painting by taking classes with Anne Post, an Edmonton, Alberta artist. During this time Cheryl eventually migrated over to using acrylic paints which has the nice (and sometimes not so nice) quality of a quicker drying time. Cheryl was a member of the St. Albert Painter’s Guild and sold paintings at local shows.
Around the mid 90’s, Cheryl became intrigued with glass fusing and invested both time and money into setting up a substantially large glass studio. With raising a young family, Cheryl found she didn’t have the time to continue painting.
In 2011, Cheryl sold her glass studio and took some time to travel, relax, and refocus.
During this time, she rediscovered all the beauty in nature which inspired her to want to paint so many years before. Cheryl started painting again with renewed focus and dedication, taking classes and workshops with mentors such as Jerry Markham, Doug Swinton, Gabor Svagrik, and Dominik Modlinski. She now exclusively uses oil paint, as she loves the vibrance and richness oil paint has to offer, as well as the consistency of the paint.
Cheryl is an AFCA (Associate) Signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists.
Cheryl lives in Lake Country, British Columbia, Canada. She passionately enjoys skiing in the winter, and hiking, biking, camping and road trips in the summer. Cheryl and her husband love to travel, which constantly floods her with continuous artistic inspiration!
