3/20/2014 - Tahitian Rose I am excited to report that I will attend the Writers Workshop with Hay House, in beautiful San Francisco! For the past year I have been fantasizing and creating art for a Magical Cookbook. This book will include not only delicious recipes that are healthy and good for you, plus wonderfully simple formulas for beauty and longevity, but also illustrations created by me especially for this Magical Cookbook. So I am combining three of my favorite things: Inspirational Art, Nourishing Food, and amazing youth giving tinctures. More to be revealed in the very near future!
~ Tahitian Rose ~ created for Cherie Bender's Magical Cookbook, has been inspired by my roses in the garden. One beautiful rose bush named Tahitian Rose was so gorgeously multi-colored and surprising, with every bloom a different color, that she gave birth to my latest creation. My pastel "Tahitian Rose" portrays the magical youth giving, replenishing and cleansing properties of water and the beautiful inspirational colors of this rose. I hope you enjoy viewing "Tahitian Rose" as much as I did creating her!

5/21/2012 - STAMP Magazine Cherie was recently interviewed by Jason Nickens at STAMP Magazine.
Excerpt from Interview: "I am a woman who paints. My viewpoint is different from a man, its hormones, its biological. Sometimes, I think like a man, just like a man can think like a woman. Creating art is not gender specific. Creating a strong visual message that has an exciting appeal that also is positive, that is challenging! Sexuality, color, symbolism, can be utilized to convey a message that uplifts and brings joy. That is what I find when I draw, paint and photograph. That is what makes me very happy!"

I was totally enriched and blessed by my visit there; have been sharing excellent videos via FB & will be posting some here, so stay tuned!!
7/9/2010 - CROWN OF THORNS MAKES THE SHORT LIST FOR THE ALL FLORIDA SHOW July 1, 2008, was the opening date for the annual ALL FLORIDA SHOW. My oil painting "CROWN OF THORNS" made the cut as one of a handful, out of over three thousand artists and art entries, and is on display in the Boca Raton Museum, Mizner Park, Florida throught this summer. The opening was amazing. The museum looked beautiful and the lighting was absolutley perfect on my painting. An artist could not ask for anything more and I was grateful. When I visited the museum, the guards and docents went out of their way to tell me how many people had been touched by my painting and that it was one of the most viewed and loved. That put the icing on the cake! As usual the museum did a great job pleasing the crowd with plenty of cocktails and appetizers served in the outdoor sculpture garden, under the starry sky. Please come visit the beautiful Boca Raton Museum this summer of 2008.
