About Cheri Owen
Cheri Owen is a visionary blind artist and proud veteran who creates compelling mixed media ceramic sculptures, functional wares, and prints. Her art transcends the purely visual, inviting audiences to engage with her creations through touch, sound, and emotion. Following a profound personal journey marked by the unexpected loss of sight, Cheri discovered a powerful means of expression in tactile art forms.
Guided by her philosophy of "Hearing the Light," Cheri believes that the diminishing of one sense can lead to a heightened awareness of others, revealing new perspectives and unexpected beauty. Her artistic pedagogy centers on mindfulness and sensory exploration, encouraging all to connect with their creativity beyond visual expectations.
Beyond her studio, Cheri is a dedicated advocate for the visually impaired community, drawing from her own experiences to foster understanding and highlight the strength and talent within this often-unseen world. Through her art and outreach, she invites you to explore a world where sensory richness and resilience illuminate the path forward.
