2023-2024 AALANA & BIPOC Inclusion Fellowship Winner:
Cherylle Booker

Cherylle Booker is an outsider artist who works in ceramic sculpture and painting.  Focus is bringing the inner world, emotions, and mental imagery to life through artwork.  She is a Project Onward artist since 2018.  She has worked with Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art as an artist and guest speaker and helped design the sanctuary doors mural at Epiphany Center for the Arts. 

She states: I am inspired by mythology, spiritual traditions, legends, ancient art, and the emotions that we all experience in everyday life.  I find it beautiful that we, as artists, can imagine something that doesn’t exist in the physical world and then make it a reality.  I work to bring that sense of magic and wonder into the pieces I create, and to give expression to the emotions and states of being that are difficult to put into words.  I want people from very different walks of life to be able to connect with what is being expressed through my work, and for those people to be seen and understood.
