The creative design and whimsical colors on all Cheryl’s work is exceptional. Not only love sending them to others as catch up messages but so enjoy giving her work as gifts. People love them! Thanks, Cheryl! You are the best.

The second of two cards that I purchased from the talented Cheryl. This one will definitely be the icing on the cupcake for my young grandaughter who loves birthdays, cupcakes and everything pink! It too will do double duty as it will be framed and hung in her bedroom as a cherished memory of her 5th birthday. As with the other card, Cheryl drew a very cute design using soft pastel colours and excellent quality materials. The cards were securely packaged (with a personal note and little extra enclosed...thank you!) and shipped quickly, as promised. Communication with this seller really did add to the experience. Cheryl is a wonderful seller who does everything right...and makes the loveliest cards. Of course I"m coming back!!

One of two cards that I purchased from Cheryl. It will serve double duty as the recipient is definitely going to want to frame this little beauty. A beautiful, simple design drawn in soft colours and overall gorgeous quality. The perfect accompaniment to a floral themed gift. Cheryl is a friendly, helpful top notch seller who does everything right and then some. Thank you, Cheryl!

Cheryl is amazing! I don’t think I’ve ever had such a positive experience buying something in my life. Every detail of my custom order was met and more. It’s something so small, but it made my day receiving this. Thank you Cheryl!

This was one of my best online purchases for Real Estate Cards ever! The quality of the product surprised me and forced me to put down my stack of homemade cards. Cheryl delivered me a product that was exactly what I was looking for and I will be ordering a ton from her in the coming months. If you are looking for card that will be hard to throw in the trash, this is it... looks great on the mantel! Thanks so much!

Video summary: This is a short video of my process in making the hand painted cards. Enjoy!

Artists are not just creators, they are influencers. I focus on details that draw you in and invite you to stay awhile.

I took my first art class in my early 20's and have been hooked on making art ever since. I work in several mediums and have experimented with many styles and subjects.
Over my many years of being a professional artist, I have shown and sold my work in many locations. My drawings, paintings, and photographs are part of collections all over the world.
I teach classes and workshops in photography and watercolor and I myself am constantly learning new techniques.
I am inspired by nature and its color and intricate detail and my goal is to capture these and share them with you. Thank you for being here!

Frequently asked questions

Custom and personalized orders

Custom orders will take more processing time. Asking for a print in an odd size may only take an extra day or so. A commissioned painting from your photo may take several weeks.

Custom orders may only be returned if they can be sold to someone else.

Sales of commissioned paintings are final but you will see photos of the finished product ahead of time and will be sold to you with your approval.

Sizing details

Most prints can be made in custom sizes to fit your space. Please allow extra time for this and measure carefully. Cropping an image to fit a certain size can be tricky and I will send you a proof before printing to make sure it is exactly what you want.

Gift wrapping and packaging

I offer simple gift wrap and a personalized card with your message if you are sending a gift.

All our orders are well protected and packed to arrive safely. Unframed Originals and Prints are shipped flat in a clear plastic sleeve, backed by cardboard. They are sandwiched between heavy cardboard that is larger than the print. Shipping costs include the cost of packing materials, not just postage.

Cards are packaged in acrylic sleeves or boxes and packed in bubble wrap or other packing material.

Commissioned Works

I use your photographs to create a one of a kind drawing or painting based on your specifications. I send you a rough first draft pdf to make sure I am capturing your wishes. On completion, I will send you a pdf of the final art for your approval before the art is shipped.
