Cheryl Petersen "Verdi" Leah Anketell but within the coloursCheryl Petersen studied graphic design and Monash University in 1998 as a mature age student and majored in illustration where upon completing university she worked both as a freelance illustrator and jewellery designer. Mostly I paint to my moods, it is the foundation for my inspiration. My best work seems to happen naturally when I am absorbed totally into the moment. I try not to control my work too much and prefer to keep the spontaneity flowing.
