Experience
Cheryl
is an award-winning illustrator, and has been illustrating
for children for more than thirty years.
She
recieved a BS in education from Lebanon Valley College in
Annville PA, and began her career as a fourth grade teacher
in the same
town
where
she lived
when
she
was
in elementary school... Smyrna, Delaware.
She
moved to Providence to study illustration at Rhode Island
School of Design, and still lives there with her
husband
and
son.
Cheryl
has combined her interest in illustration and education,
focusing on multicultural and historic themes, and
doing much of her illustration work for the educational market.
Many of her projects involve research, and she has
illustrated stories from diverse cultures and time periods
such as the Hmong of Southesast Asia and the Han and Ming
dynasties of China.
She
has researched immigrant stories from Ellis
Island
to Angel Island, and folklore of the Native American tribes
such as the Micmac, Alutiiq, Sioux and more, both pre and
post European contact. In
addition to her freelance work, Cheryl teaches Children's
Book Illustration and is the advisor for the Children's
Book Illustration Certificate Program at Rhode Island School
of
Design-CE. She
has also done many school residencies and is
available to do school visits, and to speak at teacher, illustrator
and librarian conferences. |
