Part 2: Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Artist Cheryl Yellowhawk

Largo, FL - In a four-part interview, we dive into the colorful world of fine artist, Cheryl Yellowhawk, a lifelong painter, who stirs our emotions and innermost feelings with her spiritual artwork, Native American background, Southwestern landscapes, colorful still life paintings, expressive floral compositions, vibrant birds and animals, beautiful women, joyful children and family pets. 

Cheryl loves to paint representational objects that tell a heartfelt story. She has written several books combining both her beautiful artwork and inspirational poetry.  Her books are a healing journey through the depths of dissociative identity disorder, post traumatic disorder, and depression following the traumatic death of her mother in a five-car fatal accident when she was 35 years old.  This life altering event careened her life’s course from that of a devoted mother of two children, a Registered Nurse, and active member of the community to a person recovering from delayed grief symptoms and then striving for the recovery her authentic self.

Cheryl’s world changed when she began a 6-week drawing and beginner’s painting class at the local High School in her small town.

Cheryl in particular deeply loves painting flowers which she describes as breathtakingly gorgeous.

As she continues to grace us with her masterful artwork, Cheryl also teaches at the beach art center one or two days a week helping others on their own artistic journey.

Another notable accomplishment is that her oil painting entitled “Eagle in Flight”, was published in the 2002 “Dreams and Visions” calendar and also toured with the Smithsonian Exhibit of “Birds of Raptor” countrywide exhibit.
