About Cheryl Ritchie

Cheryl Ritchie is a native of Paradise, which is located just outside the capital city of St. John's in Newfoundland and Labrador. As a child, Cheryl was always involved in artistic activities including drawing, painting, photography and picking new colours or fabrics for a room.

Cheryl studied Photography at George Brown College and Interior Design at Humber College in Toronto, Ontario. After graduation, Cheryl needed to gain experience with the artistic process so she began work at a downtown Toronto Art Gallery. During her time at the gallery, she met with different artists and discussed their individual styles and was able to gain insight to the thoughts and techniques that a book could never teach.

Over the years, Cheryl has been commissioned to create works of art for private collectors, family, friends and for her own collection in the home she now shares with her family.
