And now PORTLAND, I’m coming for YOU
Yes, that’s right, I’m hopping on an airplane again tomorrow. Super excited about my NEXT opening, this one with the amazing Trish Grantham at Land Gallery in Portland, opens Friday night, February 3 at 6 pm. Calling all Portlanders! I’ll be at the opening and hope to see you there.
This show is inspired by a little Victorian mixed with my usual dose of color. I’ll be showing 6 mixed media shadowboxes (includes image above and first 5 images below) and 2 large unframed drawings (the king and queen of hearts at very bottom). Here’s a sneak peek:
Be well and thank you for visiting!

Artist Talk: with Lisa Congdon & Liz Miller, January 27, 7pm
Deedee Cheriel, Lisa Congdon, Liz Miller, and Eduardo J. Villanueva are four nationally known artists whose work includes an array of media—painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, installation, and book arts. Bold color and sharp angles, are mixed together, transferring the familiar into an exciting imaginative space By experimenting with the physical properties of their chosen media, these artists recontextualize simplified shapes, signs and symbols from different historical and contemporary imagery to create new imaginative environment. By taking chances with these materials and marrying them to compelling narratives, they have created works that are concretely tangible, indicative of soaring imaginations, and in many cases have the quality of being beautifully mysterious.

My Work in the Contemporary Jewish Museum
I’m back from my holiday vacation and so happy to be back on the blog. Today I am so excited to announce that my work will be featured in an exhibition opening February 16 at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco. This is my first museum show and I could not be more thrilled to be involved. The exhibition, Do Not Destroy: Trees, Art, and Jewish Thought is an opportunity for the 50 invited artists to explore the subject of the tree in Jewish tradition. The show is a continuation of a long-running series at the Contemporary Jewish Museum—the Dorothy Saxe Invitational—in which artists from diverse backgrounds and working in a range of medium are invited to explore a Jewish ritual object. My piece (pictured above) is made from reclaimed wood and gouache and explores the Tu B’Shevat seder, an all vegan feast with four cups of wine progressing from white to red, with shades of pink in between.
The exhibition opens February 16, and I hope if you are in San Francisco you will go visit the museum to see it! You can learn more about the show and view some of the other work here.

Shadowboxing
I love working three-dimensionally and with cut paper, though I don’t do it as often as I’d like. These are three of the nine shadowboxes I made for a solo show this past summer, some of which are still available here.
