Artist Statement:
Cherie Hanson: artist's biography
The kindergarten teacher hung the memographed outlines of rabbits around the perimeters of the class room.Then I saw I was “different”. My rabbit was wearing long, dark braids and a buckskin dress. There were no pale pastels and I had little concern for the lines given to me: I was focused on the lines of the image in my head. As a child, I dressed in layers of fabric and tulle to dance in the yard. I sang my own versions of opera; I drew; I wrote; I practiced being a circus performer on my two trapezes.
In Junior High and High school, I appeared in plays, continued to write poetry and draw. Upon graduating, I received the Hudson's Bay High School award for top art student out of a class of 368 graduates. I also received the Washington State Arts' Council Award for best Fiction awarded by the Chairman of the University of Washington's English Department.
University was a time that I explored all that fascinated me. I took a Bachelor of Arts in English, studied Modern Dance, minored in Fine Arts and worked on the college year book as well...
