Cheryle Albert
Columbus, Ohio
Born 1947

Cheryle Albert, whose vision loss began to deteriorate at the age of twenty due to diabetic retinopathy, is well known for her playful titles and imaginative subject matter. Much of this artist's imagery is derived from her technicolor dreams, which are recorded in a notebook or whispered into a tape recorder. Cheryle explains: "I'll say orange sky, blue-green grass, purple river and then paint from my memory and sense of touch."te
