105 - Cherie Dacko: Sweet Poison

With 25 plus years in portrait, commercial and antique photo restoration, Cherie Dacko developed award-winning skills for creating images of the human form. In 2007, after raising her son, she rented studio space in the historic district of Sanford, Florida and began painting full time. After some years and over 350 paintings later, Dacko's style evolved into a unique style of portraiture she describes as "Bent Realism." The subjects are familiar but the distortion will challenge your comfort level.
