About Cheryl
I've been termed as being an 'old school' illustrator -- not sure why, but the parties that said that certainly made it seem and feel like an insult. Personally, I like and prefer 'old school'. I enjoy detailed whimsy, greatly. So, I'm basically waiting for everything 'old' (school) to be 'new' again...

The book I would like to start with is a sequel to my first book. Please let me know when you have a day when we could ta... more

Thank you for agreeing to be my friend.

Cheryl, I have been meaning to write you for ages but am trying to get the first of my dragon quartet completed asap. I think you drawings are just sheer magic . I don't know how a writer works with an artist.Can you tell me? I'm looking for a book cover first of all and it must be magical.

Hi Cheryl, Welcome! I love the illustration on your profile page. I buy childrens books when on my travels and mainly for the illustration having a strong visual approach to the world. I love your bold colours and sense of movement.

WONDERFUL illustrations.
I too am working hard to get my illustrations out there.
My work is a little 'bizarre' so I am having trouble.
When I draw for kids I want to produce something that they really have to LOOK at. Pictures are too easy nowadays.

Your colored pencil work is fantastic. I really like your tonal range and color saturation.

Thanks,
