Cheryl and Don Olney live and work in Rochester, NY. Their studio is called Louise's Daughter; named for Cheryl's mom, Louise, who would be very pleased!

The ex-social worker and the ex-toymaker, both self taught artists and married for over 20 years, combine their histories and observations as they create their warm, wonderful, spirited work. They find inspiration in family and friends, as well as their gratitude for each day. Their figurative work is respectful and sensitive. It touches the heart and soul, and is full of people that 'we all know'.

Their whimsical 'other stuff', including boxes, earring holders, vases, paintings, hearts, flowers, pins - ad infinitum - also takes on the same energetic personalities. The Olneys regard their relationship and their work as serendipitous, and proof that there is still good karma out there. The key is to recognize, accept, rejoice in, and contribute to that positive force. We work to make art, peace, joy, amends, and to live like we mean it.
