Cheri Blum's art reflects the character of the antiques she loved. She perfected a method of painting on cracked linen that conjured up images of Italian villas, or the pattern in an heirloom quilt.

Cheri Blum said, "My goal is to take the fine art aspect of the Old Masters and combine it with a worn handcrafted look that suits today’s styles. I love to find unusual painting surfaces and create something from nothing."

Cheri Blum strove to create art that paid homage to the beauty of time passing by. To create the effects of time and weather, Blum even went so far as to put a completed painting in the washing machine.

Cheri Blum said about her art: "My artistic style is characterized by its calm, serene lines, simple shapes and freshly created patinas which are combined to create a peaceful balance. Edited of unnecessary detail, there is a depth and lushness to the finished surface which is generated from its rich layering. Descriptive elements are simultaneously present and invisible, resulting in a feeling which is both fresh and weathered."

Cheri Blum's untimely death at age 34 has left her fans saddened. Cheri Blum died in her home by the Sassafrass River in Maryland. The art world is less for her loss.
