Cheryl Hughes

About the Artist

   Inspired by color, nature, and the joy of creative expression, I’ve been drawing and painting since childhood. Splitting my time between Maine and Florida, my work is shaped by the coastal calm of the Northeast and the vibrant energy of the South.

  I love capturing fleeting moments through plein air painting and playful, painterly studio work—each piece a reflection of my love for light, whimsy, and the natural world. As both an artist and teacher, I’m passionate about helping others discover the healing and happiness that creativity can bring.
