About the Artist

Cheryl Clinton was born and grew up in Framingham, Massachusetts. Painting has been her passion since childhood. She received her BFA in Painting from Massachusetts College of Art and earned her MFA at UMass Dartmouth. Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions throughout Massachusetts and abroad.

Nature and landscape are the primary inspiration for her work. Recent paintings focus on the play of light through water. Currently, she is working on a series of drawings and paintings based on trees and reflections.
