Cherilynn Wood is a professional Chicago based artist who has been working in watercolor for close to twenty years. She studied at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design under the guidance of Allison Cooke Michelle Grabner and Anne Miotke. Over the years she has won numerous awards at art fairs and competitions. Through technical use of the medium and color theory her watercolors take on a life of their own with bold colors and playful character expression. Her artwork is driven by a desire to express the individual characteristics of a particular animal as well as bring that animal to life through watercolor paint. The artwork takes on the traditional portrait composition style depicting the animals as important as any family portrait. She portrays the animal kingdom as one big family.
