No rules. Just art, creative courage, and more than a bit of rebellion.
I’m Cheryl—a mixed media artist, feminist firestarter, and joyfully messy creator. This channel is for the wild-hearted makers, the quiet rebels, and anyone who needs a reminder that perfection is a lie and play is sacred.
After a long creative fog, I found my way back through scraps, layers, and letting go of expectations. Now I’m here to share that process with you.
On this channel, you’ll find:
🎤 Rebel Reflections – honest, soulful stories about life, art, and the space between
🎨 Messy Magic – hands-on, intuitive process videos that celebrate creativity in motion
Some days I’m just making a mess. Some days I’m untangling big truths with paint and paper. Either way, this is a space for bold creativity, emotional honesty, and artistic rebellion.
Grab your supplies—fancy or not—and come make something with me.

New video drops tomorrow!
I set out to make a relaxing art journal page using papers from my residency… but things didn’t go as planned.
Instead of hiding the inner turmoil, I learned from it and shared it.
This one’s about *process over perfection* — and what happens when your own advice turns out to be exactly what you needed.
💥 Watch it here https://youtu.be/IkmOcgfIfa8 <--- when it is available!

Ever need to make a mess just to get out of your own head?
In this new video, I try out a wild, no-rules technique I saw from Froyle Davies — layer ink, watercolor, acrylic, tons of water… and then walk away. Literally. Just let it dry and see what happens.
No plan. No fixing. No pressure.
Just paint, puddles, and a little creative chaos. And I can't wait to give these papers a try!!
If you love process over perfection and letting the materials lead — this one’s for you.
