Cheryl Holz

I grew up in the country, collecting moss, bugs, leaves, and to my mother’s chagrin, snakes and salamanders. My rural upbringing had a big influence on my aesthetic sensibility and my artwork. I taught after getting an undergraduate degree in Art Education, then again after obtaining an M.F.A. I enjoyed it, but slowly became a full-time artist as interest in my work grew. My work can now be viewed on my website, in art galleries, the occasional fair or festival, my studio, through art consultants, and now here! My goal is to constantly grow in and through my art. I'd like to inspire, in others, the same love of nature that I experience myself, thus promoting the recognition that we are inseparable from this earth we live in. My work has received national recognition, been shown in museums, and purchased by art collectors, corporations, and hospitals. My greatest reward by far, however, is loading my dogs into the truck and heading to my studio!

Cheryl is based out of Dupage County.
