“ As a modern feminine artist, I am in love with the twenties and the artists that lived then, including and especially, Picasso, Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Tamara de Lempicka, and the Scottish artist and architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. These are my primary influences. I spent all of my childhood in Edinburgh, Scotland, and in the cold winters by the fire, painting was my passion, along with reading and eclectic music. These art forms just naturally co-exist with one another to me, and in my paintings, I always have a symbolic story to tell.” I am committed to excellence as an artist and to expressing my ideas in a joyful and soulful, sometimes shocking, way. Hopefully, above all, I want to communicate my fundamental faith in humankind, in God, and in the celebration of life.” CHERIE BENDER 1987 Attended Art Center In Pasadena, California 1988 Paintings in Private Collections of the patron’s of Silvio ‘s owned by Sylvio Morray, in the heart of Los Angeles.
