Cheryl Tall

Bio

Artist and sculptor, Born in New Jersey, raised in Florida, and based in Carlsbad, CA since 2001. My father was a wood worker, and my mother excelled at painting and crafts, so we always had plenty of art materials around. My parents encouraged me to take art classes and attend college, and later I traveled to many places around the world to study art, such as Japan, France, Greece, Mexico, Canada and around the USA.
