About | Cheryl Elmo

meet cheryl

"My work is an examination of life, using portraiture of quiet moments to share thoughts and ideas about life. By developing a unique style through aqua-media on art panels, the paintings are reflections of observations, sharing stories through silent figural expressions, using tendrils of hair coiled in frustration, or eyes defined by colored thoughts. Each painting has a contemporary look reaching out to touch the viewer and engage imagination. My style is continuously evolving through dedication and experimentation, while seeking a connection into the human soul.."
