Cherie Strong
I am a 38yr old Australian Artist, I live in S.E. Queensland and freelance from my Studio.
I have a passion for Art that I need to feed daily. I work with Acrylics mostly and charcoal but
really I use a wide range of mediums depending on what I'm working on at the time, anything from poscas to aerosol to pen and ink.
My artworks seem to be emotionally driven, I become obsessed with themes and mediums and will pursue them relentlessly in my artworks until I have exhausted them, then reinvent something new. A common theme in my works are classic feminine images, I'm exploring the idea of beauty and searching for it. I like to celebrate imperfections as the ultimate beauty too and paint on objects I find.

I'm inspired by the art of other artists the art in galleries and the art in the streets, always something fresh to look at and I love seeing it!
Recently I have been doing artworks on skateboards, this has something to do with putting fine art on a street object the juxtaposition of the two forms of art I love the most, I buy the boards non-varnished, just bear wood and love the grain it's just another canvas. The ones I have done so far are meant for the wall but I think I will make some to actually skate too.
I have shows coming up at Graffik Gallery London in April and a solo show in Melbourne at Punk Milk TV in May. Have a look at my link below for more...
