Artist Statement
"Cheryl's work explores the intersection of nature, memory, and geography through vibrant mixed‑media collages. Birds—symbols of freedom, migration, and resilience—serve as central figures, each one crafted from textured paper, recycled elements, and found materials. Set against detailed maps, these avian forms invite viewers to consider the connections between place, journey, and the natural world.
Maps function as both literal guides and metaphors in her practice, grounding each piece in a specific landscape while evoking curiosity and discovery. The interplay of color, pattern, and texture reflects the complexity and beauty of the environments we inhabit—real and imagined.
Through her work, she encourages reflection on home, belonging, and the stories that shape our sense of place. An Edmonds resident, she has participated in the Edmonds Artist Studio Tour for three years, with her work shown in galleries and festivals throughout the Pacific Northwest."
Edmonds Connection
Cheryl Brown, now in her tenth year as a resident of Edmonds, embraces the vibrant arts community that she proudly calls home. As an artist, she finds inspiration in the lively Saturday Market and showcases her work at Interiors of Edmonds and Edmonds Crow. Deeply involved in the local art scene, Cheryl serves as a dedicated committee member of the Edmonds Artist Studio Tour. A true homebody, she cherishes the time spent cultivating her garden and creating in her backyard studio, where her artistic spirit flourishes.
