“In The Moment”

Paintings by Cheryl Seavey
September 21-November 17

Artist’s Statement

Cheryl hugs well-wisher at art opening

My paintings try to capture a moment in time and a sense of place. They invite the viewers to create their own narrative. Saturated color and distinct brushwork give a feeling of realism while at the same time leaving room for individual interpretation. The images remind us that life is not static, but in motion. I hope you enjoy these moments I have created!

– Cheryl Seavey

She has a degree in environmental studies and sociology and has developed a strong sense of stewardship and community through her years of work for a local, non-profit organization and volunteering in local schools.

Living in Maine has enabled her to enjoy family, outdoor activities and creative pursuits. Her paintings are a reflection of that lifestyle and the things that inspire her. Having painted numerous commissioned pieces and sharing her artwork with family and friends over the years, she is excited to have her first public show at 317 Main.
