Cheryl Fausel

 Cheryl Fausel is a prize winning artist with her work owned and exhibited both in the United States and Europe. She comes from a long line of artists, to include her father and grandmother. While studying fine art at the Rochester Institute of Technology, she met her future husband and returned with him to his homeland of Germany. She spent the next 30 years living in Europe and now splits her time between the US and Switzerland. After working for over 20 years in oil, Cheryl learned watercolor at the Arts and Craft facility, which she ran for the US military in Stuttgart, Germany. From that moment on she was hooked on the medium and packed her oil paints away. Her work has evolved from being very loose, with an emphasis on surrealism and the abstract to more controlled and realistic with an emphasis on abstraction within a realistic confine. Color has always figured heavily in her work and still does. She has Signature status in FWS, SW and TaWS. When asked why she works so hard even in retirement, she always replies: “Because being an artist is not a job, but who I am.”
