Artist Cheri O'Brien at work in her studio. "Each painting is a contained one-act play. O’Brien’s figures convey real emotion. Pernicious humor, loneliness and boredom are revealed in bold vividly colored paintings."   --Joe Heim, Seattle Times

Cheri O’Brien is a Pacific Northwest native currently residing and painting in the SoLo district of Everett. She is a self-taught professional artist of nineteen years continually inspired by her many muses, both real and imagined. The fabulous river and mountain views from her studio window as well as the Palouse region are romantically captured. Considered an 'artist's artist' by her peers, she also creates humorous paintings of people and animals in interesting situations. Her latest work has been glass enamel paintings and fused painted stained glass. To view new works please ask for email images.

Cheri’s work is collected throughout Washington State and as the world sits up and takes notice of this eclectic artist with a unique voice, her paintings are making their way across the whole Continent and eking into Europe and Japan.
