Cheryl Oblinski Nickerson

has been painting for over three decades, working in oil, acrylic, and charcoal. Trained in classical Atelier and Bargue techniques, she has also spent many years teaching, specializing in realism and guiding students of all ages. Her work spans portraiture, still life, landscapes, and wildlife, each piece shaped by a layered approach to light and colour.

Her paintings move beyond simple likeness, capturing the essence of a moment and inviting viewers to feel truly present within the scene—familiar, timeless, and alive.
