Overview
My name is Cherie and I have a passion for realistic illustration of food/plants/botanicals, insects/birds/animals - anything organic.
I have worked on a wide range of projects from science magazines to consumer packaged goods, museum posters, annual reports, and point-of-purchase displays.
Some of my clients include the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Scientific American Magazine, Deutsche Bank, Williams-Sonoma, and Lands' End to name a few.
I enjoy working in different mediums and use a combination of hand-painting, sketches, and digital techniques to create stunning artwork. Although each project is unique, I always start with a round of pencil sketches to put various ideas down on paper.
Communication with one another is key to creating a clear image that encapsulates your book and brings your vision to life. Together we can make your book stand out from the crowd by creating a beautiful piece of art.
Feel free to reach out with any questions. I would love to hear from you!

TESTIMONIALS
"Cherie was one of the first illustrators we worked with way back in 2016 for a Bonafide Provisions project. It was love at first sight when we saw her scientific-style drawings of ingredients. Since then, she's worked with us on numerous projects for Ozery Bakery and BumbleBee Seafoods. She helps us dial up taste appeal to 100 and brings a sense of heritage to a brand. The amount of detail in her work is mind-blowing!"
—Jeremy Dahl and Becky Nelson, Co-founders & co-creative directors of Bex Brands
"Cherie is thoughtful, smart, and a delight to work with. She breathes life into every concept, and delivers impeccable illustrations that always make me smile."
—Jen Christiansen, senior graphics editor at Scientific American

Work experience
Cherie S. Illustration
As a freelancer I've worked with designers, art directors, and publishers to create food, botanical, insect, landscape, and scientific illustrations. My nature-inspired illustrations have been used for consumer packaged goods found at your neighborhood grocery store and in gourmet food shops across the country as well as images for posters, journals, magazines, and annual reports.
