"The force that through the green fuse drives the flower

Cheryl is interested in the process of transformation, and metamorphosis. Although her work varies with her moods, Cheryl has a distinct style that merges abstraction with representation in increasing degrees, her work brings together instinctive composition while revealing her precise powers of observation. Remarkable for their compositional rhythms, bold coloration, and sweeping gestural brushstrokes, Cheryl's paintings bring alive the fundamental quest to express something personal, subjective and emotive, in a poetic, abstract way.

Forests, sky, water and motion are recurring themes of inspiration. My practice of art making is a deeply personal game of choices and a constant renegotiation between rules of inclusion and omission, acceptance and refusal, inviting the viewer into my world and allowing them to make it their own.
