For years, I have been a collector of brooches and scarfs… I recall having the thought that it would be “cool” if there were a way to display some of my collection in a unique way. This is how my artistic vision began…

I started painting for the very first time, in August 2011, and thought, “if I can only paint a face...and add a brooch”. By day three, I had painted three faces and paired each with a brooch from my jewelry box. In that moment, I had discovered that I am what most would term, a natural. And my first collection - “Be Natural” - was born.

When I found wood panels, I knew that adding a drawer knob would give me the artsy scarf display that I was looking for and my “Accessorized” Collection has now became the signature piece of LCherise.

The future of LCherise is one of a kind brooch art! I give new life to the vintage brooch one canvas at a time.

Each brooch, I come across online or during one of my frequent flea market trips, brings new ideas and new opportunities to mature in my craft.

Like most self-taught artists, my work is the result of exploration. I also like to say that I am a spirit-led artist. Having uncovered a talent that I did not know existed within me, motivates me to create art that inspires others to recognize the hidden talents that they too possess.
