CREDENTIALS

A resourceful and skilled "creative aging" teaching artist, Cheryl brings artsy goodness to her classes at senior centers and in long term care communities.  She holds artistic skills that easily adapt to one-on-one sessions, too, that enhance quality of life for individuals in healthcare and homecare settings.  Her openness to the creative process enables artists to experience classes that are infused with self expression, reminisce exploration, discovery and more.
