My medium is a varied mix of tiny shells, scraps of paper, slivers of glass, thick gel mediums, crusted gouache additives, creamy acrylic and globs of oil paints, traces of watercolor and melted wax crayons combined with hardened enamels and carefully chosen 14kt gold flake.
Every piece is original and every creation is an unpredictable surprise! I create with a clear heart, no expectations. The materials combined together create a resist-like reaction and the results are different every time…..each piece is genuinely unique and original!
I’m passionate about living the artful life. I have a great appreciation for nature and animals,20% of all sales goes to S.N.A.P. (Spay and Neuter Assistance Program) for animals. I am also an active advocate for the “Adopt Don’t Shop!” movement which means finding forever homes for our homeless furry friends.
My art can range from bold bright colors to dark tones. I enjoy subject matter from landscapes to mysterious women. I enjoy using soft strokes or a textured look all in one painting. @cheriesalinas96 361-235-9153
Cherie Salinas resides in Katy, Texas with her husband, son, and three dogs. She is a self-taught artist who enjoys multiple mediums such as oil, acrylic, and even melting crayons on canvas.
Her latest works explore the human form and the wonderful things that God has made such as animals or luscious fruit.
Her last solo show was at Piola downtown Houston which ran January to March of this year.
Cherie is influenced by Monet’s mixing colors on the canvas and the texture Van Gough achieved.
This artist’s work runs the gamut of emotions from quiet peacefulness to frail darkness.
“I enjoy hearing how each person sees art differently. One person sees a sunrise, the other sees a sunset.” Salinas explained.
Acrylic, House Paint, Mixed Media, Collage, etc. on Wood, Canvas, Metal, Board, Found Pieces, etc., and Found Object Sculpture. Basically, whatever I can lay my hand to. I can do a lot with a little. 346-377-8664 @deantsnider
