CHERIE BALOWSKI: SMALL TOWN GIRL AND CREATIVE ETSY SELLER

Cherie Balowski is from a small town in south central Michigan, land of the lakes. She was born an artist. Her passion for art, creating crafts and singing started at a very early age. Cherie started making art with crayons, watercolors, pencils and chalk.

GIRL FRIENDS

Cherie says she is a small town girl who loves good guitar music, classic rock, singing and playing her guitar, riding her motorcycle, visiting her son and two grandsons in Arizona and art, ART, ART!!!

I LOVE BUGS

Cherie’s first 'crafty type' projects were sculpting and painting on clay. She also carved rubber stamps, embossed copper plates, learned macramé and made paper mosaics and collages. In high school Cherie started sewing. Then she started painting anything she could get her hands on. Once she discovered the computer, a whole new world of digital art was opened for her.

PAISLEY QUEEN

Cherie is inspired by the beauty that surrounds her.

GARDEN LOVE

Cherie is an artist who works with whatever medium she is in the mood for that day! She enjoys creating art in many forms, from digital art collage sheets, digital clip art and digital scrapbook pages to hand painted gourds, baskets, beaded jewellery, paper mache, felting and everything in between.

FUNKY HATTED WITCH III

Cherie especially loves creating ACEOs...they are Art Cards, Editions & Originals. There is quite a growing number of artists and art collectors who see that these wonderful 'small format' works of art are fabulous collectibles! They are in the standard trading card size of 2.5" x 3.5" (just like baseball cards) and can be purchased in as many art forms as you can imagine. Altered, sketched, 3-D, photographs, digital art, fabric, mechanical, beaded, pencil, ink, acrylic, oil...the list is endless. As long as they are the standard size, they are considered ACEOs.

ST PATRICKS DAY

Besides original ACEO art cards for sale in Cherie’s ETSY shop you will also find a great collection of digital art that you can purchase and then receive through your email system. These fun and unique clip-art sheets are great for digital scrapbooking, journaling, scrabble tile pendants, altered art, ACEOs, greeting cards, stickers, postcards...whatever you can dream up!

MERMAID AND CHILD

Currently Cherie is designing for various POD (Print On Demand) sites such as Zazzle, RedBubble, Greeting Card Universe and more.

PRINTABLE CANNING JAR LABELS
