About Cheri Isgreen:
Cheri Isgreen is a signature member of the Colorado Watercolor Society, known for her original vision in art. Her paintings demonstrate masterful use of light, shadow, and rich color. Her work can be explored on her website, www.cheriisgreen.com and Instagram: @cheri.isgreen.fine.arts.
For Cheri, creating art is a deeply meditative practice—an expression of gratitude for the immense beauty in her life. She finds great joy in the power and grace of horses, the luminous colors and diverse forms of in nature, and the warm embrace of family and friends.
With a fearless approach to art, Cheri embraces the freedom to mix media and compose with bold colors and strong values. Each new piece takes her deeper into visual expression, where she explores the infinite patterns and shapes created by light striking form. Her process begins with immersive value studies, allowing her to paint and sculpt freely and intuitively.
In watercolor, she applies pigment directly to the paper allowing color to spontaneously coalesce into uniquely rich mixtures. Her use of color and value create dynamic compositions. Cheri’s paintings evoke a sense of mystery and narrative, carefully balancing what is explicitly defined, subtly suggested, and left to the viewer’s imagination—inviting them to find their own stories within her work.
With years of teaching experience, Cheri shares her passion for art through through teaching classes, presenting demos, and exhibiting widely. She is dedicated to helping students of all levels develop their skills, explore their creativity, and find joy in the artistic process.
