A Fleeting Dance
A Fleeting Dance - 30x40x1.5 - acrylic painting - 2024

In floral dreams, their beauty sought.
The vase, a haven, still and cool,
Where fragrant whispers fill the pool.
A fleeting dance, a silent plea,
Moths and flowers, in harmony.Available for PurchasePainting currently on display till February 1, 2025 at the Howard County Arts Council. Gallery II: Chroma

About Cheri
My art is inspired by a love of color, design, and the interplay of shapes, transparencies, and space. Using acrylic on canvas, I create intuitive works influenced by life and nature, with the goal of evoking emotion and connection.
In July 2024, I received the Emerging Artist Studio Award from the Howard County Arts Council and I became a full-time studio artist. My focus is on building a meaningful body of work that reflects my vision and supports my career. My work is on display at… more
The interconnectedness of all living things.
In my work, flowers, birds, and other nature motifs are much more than decorative elements—they serve as powerful symbols of life, energy, and transformation. I’m fascinated by their organic shapes, which I love blending with abstract forms to create a sense of movement, rhythm, and connection. Each flower, bird, and natural element carries its own unique personality, adding depth and contributing to the unfolding story within the piece.
These motifs embody the cycles of growth, change, and renewal, while also reflecting the beauty and complexity of the natural world. Through my art, I aim to capture their essence and invite viewers to reflect on the profound interconnectedness of life, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the intricate balance that surrounds us.
