With an enthusiasm for children’s publishing, Cherish creates delightful and wholesome child-oriented imagery that illuminates and enriches the lives of her young audiences. Based on the needs of her clients, Cherish closely integrates her expertise of traditional painting methods and digital prepress technology to supply print-ready, color accurate files. Her conceptual illustrations generally follow a mixed media technique utilizing traditional watercolors, oil paints, pastels, and colored pencils to achieve a unique level of vibrancy. The images are then scanned and may be fine tuned on the computer in preparation for digital output. Cherish's streamlined workflow reliably meets deadlines, offering clean digital files or beautiful original paintings, in hand and ready for publication.
