Cheri Sperl
By LatAm ARTE
Cheri Sperl discovered her passion for painting later in life, developing her artistic career through dedication and continuous learning. After retiring from a career in healthcare, she returned to her lifelong connection with art. She has studied through online and in-person workshops with several established contemporary painters. Among the artists who influenced her development are Colley Whisson, Chantel Barber, Keith Wicks, Kelly Folsom, and Jennifer Gennari. Her artistic practice primarily focuses on oil and acrylic painting. She is particularly interested in portraiture, figurative subjects, and animal portraits. Cats and other animals are recurring subjects in her work, reflecting her fascination with their individual personalities and expressions. Her paintings are inspired by everyday experiences, personal observations, and photographs she takes herself. Her artistic style is often described as expressionist, characterized by vibrant colors and expressive brushstrokes. She pays particular attention to light, color, texture, and the emotional qualities of her subjects. Through her paintings, she seeks to create visual stories that connect with viewers' memories and emotions. She has participated in numerous juried exhibitions and solo exhibitions throughout California. In 2018, she received Best of Show at the Metro Galleries Latination exhibition. Her other recognitions include awards from the Kern County Fair, Daily Paintworks, and FASO BoldBrush competitions. In 2025, she received Best of Show at the Arts Council of Kern Latination exhibition, and in 2026, she won first place in the Reigning Cats and Dogs exhibition. Today, Cheri Sperl continues to develop her artistic practice in California, exploring expressive portraiture and the emotional connection between art, nature, and everyday life.
