MORE ABOUT CHERYL

Over the last four years, Cheryl has been working on scratchboard. She has developed a layering process making her own tools. In this body of work, Cheryl uses hand ground pigments belonging to her late artist father. She also uses inks to tint the clay surface. The process is both reductive and additive. Cheryl usually begins without a predetermined outcome which allows the images to emerge on their own.
