CHERYL DICK: Cheryl Dick currently resides in Surrey, British Columbia. She is predominantly self taught and began to draw as soon as she could hold a pencil. She came from a difficult childhood where artistic pursuits were not encouraged, so she began to draw in secret. Through these challenging circumstances the need for self expression was always present, and her art became a form of therapy. In 2001, Cheryl started art lessons with a local artist, where she honed her skills in the use of acrylics and developed perspective. In addition, she joined an established group of artists who met regularly to draw and paint in Surrey's parks. In the spring of 2006 this group collaborated to paint a Spirit Bear for BC Lions Society's 'Spirit Bears in the City' project. This Bear, Ínspiration', was viewed by thousands and raised $16,000.00 at auction for the Lions Society. Cheryl continues her art education, is an active contributor to The Brass band, and draws and paints whenever she can.
