Cheri got her start in Daz Studio when she stumbled upon the brilliant Ron Deviney's fantastic Photoshop brush packs in the Daz3D store. She credits Ron for her career change from book editing to book cover design, graphic design, and more recently, stock art creation.
Currently, she designs her creations in Daz Studio and postworks her renders in Photoshop.
