Hello, my name is Cheryl Smith and I want to share my art experiences with
you.

| O-090 Tulip in the Rain acrylic 18x24 $425 |
I began drawing at age seven, and was accused of tracing my drawings as
they were so realistic. My mother realized my talent and from that young age
encouraged me in every way, giving me the confidence, strength, and endurance
to persevere and never give up doing what I loved the most. That is my Art; it
is my passion in life!
I have had a myriad of art occupations during the past thirty-five years
and have loved every one of them. I was a Graphic Artist for several newspapers
in the San Francisco Bay Area, Senior Graphic Designer for an Ad Agency, Art
Director for the Penninsula Advisor, and Art teacher for Jr. and Senior High
School students. I have also illustrated a children's book.
I was commissioned by Running Fence-recycled to create artworks from the
historic textile panels of Christo's Running Fence, Marin and Sonoma counties,
1976. My pieces made from the panel fabric have been displayed in numerous
exhibitions and can be viewed on runningfence-recycled.com
I am currently engaged in Fine Arts, doing paintings, custom table
designs, crafts, and mixed media pieces using fabric and paint. Being chosen
for the 19th Annual Spring Obsession Art Show is a blessing to me.
I do hope
you enjoy my work and will support me in the future. My goal is to create more
paintings in 3-D using different and unique medium and designs and to create
more colorful and imaginative tables. Thank you for coming to see my work.
