“My favorite subject matter is people - especially the people I meet.”

Paintings Begin with a Shared Moment
From these encounters, Cheryl creates a painted portrait and a short biographical fiction inspired by the exchange.
Through portraiture and storytelling, Conversations in Texas invites viewers to consider how empathy, curiosity, and imagination shape the way we understand one another.
Cheryl has connected with many subjects for this series during Open Canopy, Canopy’s monthly first-Saturday open studio tour. From 1–4 PM, dozens of private artist studios open to the public alongside galleries, retail shops, and food vendors throughout the arts complex.
