Artist Statement:
What I see inspires my work. Images ranging from public domain icons to archaic glyphs fascinate me. With high voltage colors I search for a visual language of universal archetypes. The creation and deconstruction of this language occurs through the physical act of painting. In my recent work, color, texture, and layering become the psychology of expression. Fauvism, Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism, and Carl Jung influence me. Specific influences are Edvard Munch, James Ensor, Georges Rouault, Rainer Fetting, the COBRA painters and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Brad Michael Moore Cheryl,
Your work has really come along. I like the cohesive aspects in your maturing body of art. China Doll, el corazon que camina, Double Blind, el pollo de la cabeza, White Elephant, and Burning Ring of Fire really rock my boat!!! Keep on flying...

Cousin Ronny I am cracking up over your titles. I love the Purple Cow!
Larry Stevens Hi Cheryl...I am taking time to look at your website and a link brought me here....In taking time to really look at your creations (which I don't do in print class), I am very impressed with the worlds and creatures you create with whimsy & humor. Your mastery of color & transparency has my admiration & envy! One day I hope you'll be able to add my name to the list of patrons who own one of your masterpieces!!
