ARTIST'S STATEMENT

Cherise Thompson has been an artist almost her entire life. “I started doing oil paintings when I was 11,” she says, “and switched to watercolors in my teens. I’m so thankful to my family and friends who encouraged my creative spirit early on.”

Cherise is not only passionate about her art but the printmaking community as well. “We share presses, so we are supportive of each other,” she says.

When not engaged in her craft, Cherise is teaching others the art of printmaking. She offers workshops for 8-to-14 year-old kids at the Pacific Art League and also teaches once a week during the school year at the Boys and Girls Club in Menlo Park.

“Kids are amazing and connect with printmaking so enthusiastically,” she says. “It’s fun to see the ah-ha moments when they pull their first print!”

She earned a B.A. in studio art from U.C. Santa Cruz, with a concentration in painting and printmaking.
