CHERYL WILCOX
ABOUT
Professionally trained Artist and Art Teacher Cheryl Willcox was born and raised in NSW Australia. She is a wife and mother of two who loves to explore, sketch, and paint her beautiful beachfront home and new places around the world.
Always creating and painting, she studied Art at Newcastle College of Advanced Education, graduating with a Bachelor of Education in Art. In 1982 Cheryl began her career as a high school Visual Art Teacher.
A stint in China in 2000 gave Cheryl the space and time to reflect and become familiar with Art from another culture and how it is interwoven through all aspects of life and society.
On returning to Australia, with a reawakened love of its natural beauty; rugged, picturesque, clean, and eternal landscape, Cheryl decided, “This has to be painted! And cannot be taken for granted again!”
It would be another 10 years, after the children were launched into their post school possibilities, when time and space would be available for Cheryl to create Art.
Cheryl decided to seriously level-up her Art skills by enrolling in Watts Atelier Art School in the State of California, USA. The techniques she learned there leveraged both the old and modern “Masters”.
A space for her professional studio and workshops space was created recently when she and her husband renovated the bottom floor of their home. This was the beginning of her career as an exhibiting Artist and Art Mentor.
