Cheryl D. McClure

Cheryl D. McClure‘S introduce:
Rather than paint what is in front of me, I prefer painting what I抳e experienced, places half-remembered, imaginary and/or designed spaces.

Beginning a painting without any real result in mind is freeing myself from preconceptions of what it will turn out to be. The work I love the most, when complete, covers the worst mistakes. By the time I get to where it doesn抰 matter what happens and the work couldn抰 be worse, some magic takes over and just leads me through the process. The process IS the magic. The work becomes an amalgam of good design visited on my experiences.?/font>
