Research/Creative Activity
Cheryl Wheat’s large-scale work maintains a mythic view of human experience. The work has a sense of the timelessness of beauty in an ephemeral world. The drawings and sculptures create a visual language like that of poetry, where the distance from the real world is great and sensibilities heightened.
Cheryl Wheat has recently returned from the American Academy in Rome where she was a Visiting Artist. Her work is currently on view at the Morris Museum, in New Jersey, as part of the exhibition, Timeless: The Art of Drawing.
She has exhibited at The Bayley Museum, in Charlottesville, and in New York at the Neuberger Museum, at Edward Hopper House, the Sculpture Center, the D& D Building, Lizan Tops, and Philips de Pury.
