Cheryl is a painter working in acrylics and chalk pastel to investigate compositional structure and dramatic contrast in the landscapes of coastal Maine. Rather than depicting scenes directly, she uses familiar subjects — fallen timber, ice and water, winter light through bare trees — as foundations for formal inquiry, asking whether powerful geometric structure and a connection to the observed world can coexist. Her paintings hover deliberately between abstraction and representation, inviting the viewer to look rather than simply recognize.
Cheryl received her BFA from RISD, her MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts, and for over twenty years, she taught painting and drawing at private art schools and served as Associate Professor of Fine Arts at the New England Institute of Art in Brookline, MA.
