Cheri Blickenstaff at JAM

Cherie Blickenstaff, BFA, Florida State University 

Years ago, I made my living as a full time artist, creating tropical artwork, participating in Florida outdoor art shows, such as Artigras, Coconut Grove, Delray Affair and Juno Artfest by the Sea among others. I licensed my artwork to various companies including Xcaret in Cancun, Mexico, the Wildlife Conservation Society, and Humane Society of the United States among many others.

I was even published in “The Best of Flower Panting”, published by Northlight Books. 

Then life got in the way, and i had to get a job behind a desk. 

Now that i have retired, i’m back doing what i love, creating, doing show, teaching art classes and enjoying my life.

Recently accepted into AE Backus Gallery’s Best of the Best 2024, and am now part of the permanent artwork collection at Jupiter Town Hall and the Jupiter Artisan Marketplace in Jupiter, Florida
