Body of Work Cheryl Lyon Mulranny Arts Award Wild open spaces of the landscape are the driving force behind my work. I am inspired by nature’s vast array of color complexity, as well as the simplicity of its shapes and textures. These are the primary elements that guide me when I paint. They allow me to remain open and explore under big billowing clouds, to be in awe of the intense light of a sunset and the dramatic darks of a storm. I am always searching for the essentials… for what will carry me through to my next painting. I paint to evoke a sense of contemplation, to invite the viewer to engage in a sense of meandering.
