About Cheryl Chapman, Silly Dog Art Glass:
Cheryl employs traditional glass painting techniques, such as the “grisaille” technique, to create shadowing and texture. She then combines this technique with adding opaque high-fire glass enamels for detail and color. Cheryl starts with drawings embellished with a bit of whimsy and then begins the painting and firing process, which can take as many as five turns in the kiln to produce the final piece. Animals, especially dogs, cats, foxes, and birds, take precedence in my work. The scenery around our current home in Central Oregon has tremendously influenced her subject matter’s development. She enjoys detailing the close-up and sometimes partial view of an animal’s face or head. Cheryl’s artwork is featured on the 2024 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show Poster.
You can view and purchase Cheryl’s glass at Makin’ It Local in downtown Sisters.
