Please welcome Cherish of   www.SomethingToCherish.com

Cherish is a licensed Illustrator and designer I met a few years ago displaying her loving, whimsical art.  I loved the way every project had hand stitching on it.  It gave her work an added dimension that I did not see elsewhere.  I could immediately see so many projects that I would like to create.  I have the turtle mini button up on my inspiration board.

Now on to the oddly fun questions we ask of our guest designers.
With whom would you love to spend one day making art? Past or present.
Jessie Wilcox Smith and the Red Rose Girls 


One interesting fact that our readers might want to know?
I am really fascinated by different cultures. I got to go to Russia when I was in high school and we went into a little factory in Rostov where they paint the most amazing miniatures paintings on enamel jewelry and other little things. Experiencing different cultures makes me think differently about the whole idea of creativity and opens me up to connecting old ideas in new ways. 

Where would you vacation, if you could go anywhere?

I have always wanted to go to the Caribbean and truly relax! 

Mac or PC?
80% Mac & 20% PC depending on the project, but I am preferring Mac more and more everyday.

Where do you find inspiration?

Sketching, observing nature, spending time with friends and family and lots of window shopping! 

What is your favorite color scheme?
I love the harmony of analogous colors accented with a complimentary contrast of extension. (I also love teaching color theory to my college students at Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design).

If you could be any superhero, who would it be?

As my students could tell you, I am not too familiar with superheros. However, I have many dreams to accomplish and since the days seem so short, I would love the super power to get a lot of work done in a small amount of time! 

What is in your refrigerator right now?

Miso soup and lots of it. My husband and I are just trying something new (back to that love for different cultures). Last week we tried a bunch of Greek recipes and before that Mexican. I think we might do something Italian next week.
What is something that not a lot of people know about you but you WISH more people COULD know?
I am a pretty shy person at heart, it takes great courage everyday to put myself out there so I can share my art and knowledge. Art and knowledge is my gift. Giving that gift to others and seeing people’s eyes light up with inspiration keeps me going.
