Cheyanna Peterson

Hi! I'm CheyAnna Peterson, a mixed media artist and graphic designer currently living in Lexington, South Carolina. I'm a Graphic Designer at an award-winning library and own Phoenix Fire Studios, an art studio specializing in creating fun artwork, sandblasted glassware and gifts. Born to a family of artists, my passion for art and design runs deep. Growing up with a woodworker father and a mom who has a love for fiber arts, I have always been drawn to a variety of mediums and processes. My current work is deeply inspired by my love of nature, whimsy, and Southern culture. I enjoy creating pieces with movement, lots of texture, and a bit of grit. My latest pieces feature florals and wildflowers that are created with lots of textured layers of acrylic paint and mixed media. As a life-long lover of books, my work often includes rescued book pages gently incorporated into the paint layers, giving great depth and texture to the pieces. Always experimenting and playing with new techniques, I strive to capture the beauty of nature through my art while having fun and not taking myself too seriously. When not creating, I love to travel, read, drink an exorbitant amount of tea, and hang out with my son and our crazy fur babies.

BFA in Studio Arts and Graphic Design from the University of South Carolina
