Cheryl chose pastels for their immediacy, directness and their colors! She finds she is drawn primarily to landscapes, to the color and beauty of nature.

Cheryl works in the plein air
tradition where she finds her inspiration painting directly from nature. Her
studio paintings are based on these plein air studies. As she explains, each
painting starts with an idea suggested by something in the landscape.
She like to explore impact of one color against another, the light;
and the visual idea that inspired the painting.

Cheryl hopes viewers will see the beauty in the scenes we pass everyday and acknowledge the importance of quickly diminishing open space. Besides her galleries you can reach her at Cheryl Browder, 654 Camino Del Rio, Gunnison, Co. 81230.
