Cherny

Artist Cherny wants viewers of her work to see what is “inside of her.” And that is a passion for life clearly expressed through abstract paintings. In her work, light and color seemingly dance across the canvas in glowing lines of diffusing color, giving an effect not unlike that of the Aurora Borealis moving across the northern sky. Cherny’s mastery of complexly toned color, borne out of her love for Impressionist painters such as Cézanne and Van Gogh, underscores her work, giving them a unique depth.

But Cherny uses more than color to transmit what is inside of her; Cherny literally uses her whole body to get her message out, employing hands, soul, and feet to paint. Thus, not only is her inner self on the canvas, her physical self is there too. Through this union of body and soul as well as her multicultural background, Cherny speaks to the viewer with an intensity that goes beyond the movement of paint and color.
