Cheryl Shanahan is an acrylic painter who splits her year between New Hampshire’s Lakes Region and Metro Richmond, Virginia. Cheryl is a graduate of the University of Richmond.

Cheryl started her creative path at age four when she taught herself how to read music. She expressed herself as a classically trained pianist, an avid writer, and a photographer for decades. She started painting in 2020. Her knowledge of composition, value, and color from her photography experience helped her immensely when she jumped in the deep end of the painting pool.

Cheryl exhibits in group and solo exhibitions in New Hampshire and Virginia. She is a member of the Seacoast Artist Association and an Associate Member of the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society (NOAPS).

Gallery representation is through Jackson Art Studio & Gallery in Jackson, New Hampshire.
