Coming Soon! My online store: Cherry's Closet!Check it out to see what's coming-under construction:
I am an illustrator who paints in oils and makes/sells handmade merchandise, including books, stickers, and apparel. Pursuing children's book illustration, toy/product design, and having art displayed in galleries. My online store will open this year, 2008-hopefully soon! Currently illustrating a children's book to be released August 2008.
I also teach art to children and adults through a variety of locations in DE, and I am also an adjunct professor at a community college in MD.
Art Fusion, Claymont, DE
I've met and studied with some extremely passionate and important people over the years who've inspired me to do what I do. . .and it do it better. London is the most amazing city I've experienced and I hope to make it there someday again.
