Cheryl Ehlers
Artist’s Statement
Raised in Europe and moving often, art became the one constant I always carry with me. Creating from memory, my work invites audience participation, sparks curiosity, and celebrates the joy of discovery. I seek to evoke fundamental human emotion. I believe it is the artist’s role to deepen the mystery of the story—because art without emotion is not art.
