5/21/2001 - STAMP Magazine Cherie was recently interviewed by Jason Nickens at STAMP Magazine. You can read the interview at www.stampmagazineonline.com
Excerpt from Interview: "I am a woman who paints. My viewpoint is different from a man, its hormones, its biological. Sometimes, I think like a man, just like a man can think like a woman. Creating art is not gender specific. Creating a strong visual message that has an exciting appeal that also is positive, that is challenging! Sexuality, color, symbolism, can be utilized to convey a message that uplifts and brings joy. That is what I find when I draw, paint and photograph. That is what makes me very happy!"

7/9/2008 - CROWN OF THORNS MAKES THE SHORT LIST FOR THE ALL FLORIDA SHOW July 1, 2008, was the opening date for the annual ALL FLORIDA SHOW. My oil painting "CROWN OF THORNS" made the cut as one of a handful, out of over three thousand artists and art entries, and is on display in the Boca Raton Museum, Mizner Park, Florida throught this summer. The opening was amazing. The museum looked beautiful and the lighting was absolutley perfect on my painting. An artist could not ask for anything more and I was grateful. When I visited the museum, the guards and docents went out of their way to tell me how many people had been touched by my painting and that it was one of the most viewed and loved. That put the icing on the cake! As usual the museum did a great job pleasing the crowd with plenty of cocktails and appetizers served in the outdoor sculpture garden, under the starry sky. Please come visit the beautiful Boca Raton Museum this summer of 2008.
7/9/2007 - UBER FEMME... MAKES THE SHORT LIST FOR THE ALL FLORIDA SHOW I am so pleased to announce that my painting 'UBER FEMME (when I was sixteen) has made the cut this year to be included for the first time in the ALL FLORIDA SHOW of the BOCA RATON MUSEUM. My beloved late Step-Mother, Mrs. Molly Bender was there to share this honor with me, of which I am very proud. UBER FEMME has a great historical significance to my life here in Florida. The Everglades are reflected in the sunglasses I am wearing and even though I hold a gun, the peace doves in silver-point on the side panels, show we can have peace, there is hope.
