Cheryl De Los Reyes Cruz

I'm an illustrator and animator who has worked in television animation, computer games and children's book publishing. I'm also a self taught painter who has been working, since leaving school, on an around the world series consisting of oils, watercolors and pencil drawings. I am also a sister, daughter, wife, stepmother trying to understand and come to terms with one of the most painful years of my life, 2024, when I took care of my younger brother Richie as he battled colorectal cancer, staying with him 24/7 while he was in the hospital, hospice and so on, until the end. Everything I post for sale here, from now on, will be a product of that inner spiritual process. Every artwork before that, if I may be completely honest, was more like a glorified FB or Instagram post, full of its own meaning, to be sure. But, with far less searching. Anyway, hope you will follow along with me on this new journey ✌🏽
