Stunning. Breathtaking. Amazing. Marvelous. Spectacular. Incredibly talented. Those and so many other adjectives are how I would describe cherie’s art.

You know the art work is spectacular when two strangers talk about it in a hair salon and you get the number of the artist so you can commission them before you leave. That’s how I came to commission Cherie for our highland cow.

She expected me to ask for a painting of my pet, but I wanted something more unique. For years we searched for a painting of a highland cow, never riding what we wanted to hang on our wall. We are picky when it comes to the art we hang on our walls. We hang only art we personally buy or commission from the artist so we can tell a viewer the artist name, how we met them, how the painting came to life and all the other little fascinating stories that go with art.

For the highland cow we asked Cherie to paint the image she wanted to paint. We let the artist be just that, the artist. It allowed us to have and item that is beyond compare and unique; much more than our untalented vision would have come up with. It wasn’t long after the highland cow was hung on our wall that we were able to add another Cherie Heslin piece to our collection and we know, this one won’t be our last.

Her chalks are so vibrant and lifelike, people have a hard time believing it is a painting and not a photograph.

If it’s a beloved pet you are wanting done or a unique painting, you will not be disappointed with Cherie’s masterpieces.
