My Recent Work
“In their visual sophistication and experiential presence, Cheney’s works give rise to an experience; her works unfold under the viewer’s close attention, viscerally, and in some duration, as a seed might germinate in the presence of the sun. The viewer’s process of seeing the paintings mirrors the artist’s process of making them. Seeing them is physical. To see them is to watch them undergoing their subtle shifts of material and topography in a push-pull relationship: they draw you in, and like the palette knife excavates the layers below, they scrape you away.”
– Amy Rahn, Ph.D, Asst. Professor of Art History & Charles Danforth Gallery Director, University of Maine at Augusta

Tell me what painting you’re interested in, and I will tell you more about it. Or, if you are a gallery owner interested in showing my work, I’d love to discuss a show with you. Or, if you just want to talk about art, I’ll be very happy to hear from you.
