About the Artist
| Cheryl was taught the fundamentals of drawing from her artist mother at the age of seven. At ten, her first art work sold was a crayon rendition of a galloping arabian horse drawn on meat wrapping paper donated by the local butcher shop. Born and raised in Wisconsin, she moved to Minnesota in 1967. There she raised her family and went to college. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Minnesota. She and her husband, John Jones, have been residents of Florida since 1999. Cheryl has artwork displayed in Arizona, California, Florida, Minnesota, North Carolina, Texas, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. She has received numerous awards for her artwork over the years. Since moving to the Matlacha area of Florida, she has been involved with the Pine Island Art Association, Art for Acts, Art Council of Southwest Florida, Art League of Fort Myers, Cape Coral Art League, and the Charlotte County Art Guild. Three telephone poles have been painted by her on Pine Island, as well as several large murals including the gated opening to Matlacha Isles.
