Wildlife Artist
Wildlife Art & Photography
Cher began her painting career in the early 1980s with a determination to become a great artist someday. Although she was self-taught in the beginning and even promised a passing C in high school as long as she didn't take the class again, she knew in her heart what she wanted to do when she grew up!
She was fascinated with women and animals and how they could relate through their eyes. She worked in pastels and pencils as well as watercolors. Most of her images were photographed by Cher in their natural environment. Cher has travelled extensively to follow her passion for wildlife.

Commitment to Wildlife Conservation
Elk Haven - Pine, Arizona
A beautiful property in the mountains surrounded by the Tonto National Forest. These 40 acres were designated to become a subdivision with approximately 6 homes per 1/2 acre. This beautiful land is forested and is the safe haven for large herds of elk and deer as well as other animals including black bear, mountain lion, and javelina. Arizona suffered from a terrible drought that not only affected their resident wildlife but also threatened the very forest they live in. herds of animals arrived at this property these animals emaciated and dying of thirst. Having now purchased this land which includes a home where they will be spending summers, they have set up a watering and feeding system for the wildlife. Not only will they be safe from hunters, but they will also have a food source and never run out of water. After a few weeks of feeding and watering approximately 35 animals at a time, counting three different elk herds, they began seeing newborns arrive and counted 11 babies that now all look fat and happy!
