Cheryl Hovey is a contemporary abstract artist whose work explores colour, texture, and emotion through layered mixed media.

Her journey with art began as a way to capture the beauty and unpredictability of the world around her. Over time, this practice has grown into a body of work that balances spontaneity with careful detail. Cheryl draws inspiration from natural forms, shifting light, and the rhythm of everyday life.

Working primarily in acrylics and mixed media, Cheryl builds her paintings in layers — blending bold colour with subtle texture. This process allows her to work intuitively, creating pieces that invite viewers to find their own story in the shapes and surfaces.

Cheryl’s goal is to spark a personal connection: whether through a burst of colour that lifts the spirit or the quiet depth of a textured canvas. She believes each artwork takes on new meaning in the eye of the beholder.

Her work has been shared with collectors and art lovers locally, and she continues to expand her practice through exhibitions, commissions, and collaborations.

“Each piece is an exploration — a conversation between colour, material, and emotion.”
