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 Historic SoLo district of Everett. She is a self-taught professional artist of twenty one 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. Most recently Cheri has been working in the public art realm creating glass and concrete works of art. 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.
