WakeRobin Studio

Guest at Studio #10. 3181 Diamondview Road, Kinburn.

As a teenager, Cheryl studied at the Montreal Museum School of Art, followed by a short period working at an entry level job in commercial art. Putting aside her early interest in art, she pursued a career in international environmental policy. Introduced to printmaking in 2018, she was instantly drawn to linocut and drypoint. She loves all forms and stages of the process especially creating multiple layer reduction linocuts. Her focus is largely on the wildlife, plants and birds of the upper Ottawa valley, where she and her husband have lived for nearly forty years, with a succession of Australian Shepherd dogs and Norwegian Fjord horses. Like so many artists, nature is her deepest connection and source of comfort. Recently she has been focused on drawing with coloured pencils, creating smaller work that later finds its way to larger prints and paintings. Her work is her way to promote an awareness of the need to preserve biodiversity in a world that threatens critical habitat for so many species.
