Artists are the real arbiters of free speech.
Hi, I’m Cheryl. I stand for art and liberation. My favorite mediums are glass and paper. My art is decidedly political and I am engaged with the world. I am an ethical vegetarian (vegan), who lives in a small beach community resting on the edge of a big city. I like to put historical imagery into our contemporary dialogues, particularly as we grapple with big issues like race, money, power and place.
My art is here to remind us of our past, no matter how challenging, so that we may better understand our present. I know that I might have to seduce you with beauty to get you to talk. Good thing that glass is so sexy and paper feels so good to the touch. Look more closely at my work and engage with the narrative. Art is the vehicle that drives difficult conversations. I use museums and galleries as brave spaces to host our talks. Embrace the occasional discomfort. The strength we need is found in clarity and community. Let’s begin.
