In the article “Build Your Artistic Brand” by Angie Ishak, featured in the second edition of the Sunshine Coast Arts Magazine, Angie asked artists some great questions to help them think about what defines their personal brand. I found her approach really inspiring and used those same questions to shape my own vision and art statement.

It’s such an honour to see my work included in the magazine’s Portfolio section, alongside so many talented local artists whose creativity continues to inspire me.

I’m excited to once again open my studio and gallery for this year’s Sunshine Coast Art Crawl, happening October 17 to 19 from 10 am to 5 pm. This wonderful community event brings together over 200 artists at 185 venues, and I’m thrilled to be part of it as Venue #173.

Mark your calendars! The Sunshine Coast Writers and Editors Society invites you to the Art & Words Festival, happening August 22–24, 2025 at the Gibsons Public Market.

Cheryl Wheeler’s paintings are about connection – to the ocean, to the land, and to the quiet moments that often pass unnoticed. Over the past 25 years, she has developed a body of work that captures the changing rhythms of nature, using her unique process of acrylic mixed media pouring.

Cheryl Wheeler presents ethereal abstracts that honor imperfection, beauty, and emotional depth. Her luminous acrylics, grounded in color theory, invite reflection, offering viewers a serene, hope-filled refuge from an often chaotic world.

In Perfect Imperfections, artist Cheryl Wheeler embraces fluid expression and the beauty of the unexpected. Through layered acrylics and vibrant earth-inspired color stories, she reveals spirit-like forms and emotional depth in her most personal and transformative body of work yet.

This heartfelt reflection celebrates the 2017 dedication of the Cheryl L. Wheeler International Peace Garden of Mexico at Vallarta Botanical Gardens. A symbol of unity and hope, the garden blends cultures, faiths, and flora to inspire global peace and harmony.
