About the Artwork:
“This piece is all about the beauty of dawn and the calm it gives us. That comforting warmth of the first light amidst the chill of the morning air as the surroundings turn from a sea of dark blue, to subtle pinks and yellows give us the feeling of hope and newness as we ready ourselves to ride the tide of this new day. This simple transition of our surroundings from dark to light gives us enough courage and faith to move forward.” – Cheryl Owen

(Artist Bio)
Cheryl Owen was born and raised in Manila, Philippines. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Santo Tomas with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts, Major in Advertising Arts in 2009.
Cheryl’s works are watercolor paintings that are inspired by the great outdoors, the Divine Feminine, and the human psyche. She weaves her imagery with a touch of symbolism that speaks and connects to the viewer on an intimate level. Cheryl’s depiction of portraits and bodies intertwined with elements of nature and scenic landscapes explores the relationship of humans and nature in modern times. Through her visuals she suggests that the metaphors of the natural world are teachings that could guide us on our journey back to our personal truth and towards spiritual rebirth.
Cheryl now resides with her husband and four cats in Batangas City. If she is not working in her studio, she could either be seen jogging outside, spending time with the cats, repotting her plants, or camping in the nearest mountain with their friends.
