Cheryl-Ann Hills is contemporary visual artist born in Kitchener Ontario, currently living &
working in Hamilton Ontario. The intent of her work is to raise awareness of the unique
beauty and diversity of the Canadian landscape.
She was recently elected to the Ontario Society of Artists and the Colour and Form Society.
Cheryl participates in art festivals, exhibitions and shows across Ontario. She enjoys
travel and meeting new art lovers in all corners of the province.
Her love for plein air work combines her two passions: nature observation and painting.
Cheryl received an Artist Merit of Distinction award during the 2019 McMichael Plein Air
Competition. In addition to managing her fine art and graphic design businesses, she also
organizes weekly outings and occasional special events for her Hamilton Ontario Plein Air
Artists group.
The intention of her work is to express the feeling of the moment as she experiences
nature. Many of her works feature the joyful light of morning. For her, dawn brings the
promise of a new day, new adventures, and joy.
Her artistic approach focuses on strong minimalist composition that emphasizes bold
colour and flowing organic forms with ethereal lighting. Her influences include
Michelangelo, Ken Danby, Alex Coville, Emily Carr and Lawren Harris.
Her art practice minimizes environmental impact by adopting a solvent-free painting
practice and reusing materials whenever possible.
In the coming years, she plans to travel across Canada to explore the whole landscape and
record her experiences on canvas. Spring 2024 will be her Iceberg trip to Newfoundland.
Cheryl’s unique style continues to develop each time she paints, and she looks forward to
each canvas as a new beginning, like the dawn of each day.
Her work can be seen at a variety of commercial galleries in Ontario; Gallery on the Lake in
Ajax, Royal Rose Gallery in Aurora and Studio 101 Gallery in Southampton. She continues to
seek out new opportunities to show and sell her work in Ontario and across Canada.
