cheryl's Bio

Born in 1971 and raised in the Nebraska Sandhills, drawing and painting have always been part of living a good life for me. I also make movies about the dream lives of seemingly ordinary people. I'm inspired by cowboy culture, Hollywood musicals, zombies, and indigenous art. I'm also a mama to a very energetic 2-year old. Since my son was born, I've reconnected with my sewing roots and have made several creatures for him. I keep a journal about them at: http://lilys-rooster.livejournal.com/ I'm excited to see everyone's work on the canvas and am thrilled to take part!
