Cheryl Engstrom | Cheryl Engstrom Art
Cheryl Engstrom is a self-taught watercolor artist, instructor, and surface designer based in Columbia County, Oregon. After retiring from a 30+ year career with her local fire district, she began painting in 2019 as a way to reconnect with her creativity.
Inspired by the Pacific Northwest’s wildlife, beaches, forests, and skies, Cheryl views watercolor as a magical, ever-evolving process of play and discovery. Her work captures the beauty and spontaneity of nature. In addition to original paintings, Cheryl transforms her artwork into patterns and designs featured on prints, tote bags, journals, and more—available on Etsy.
As an instructor, she is known for her fun, encouraging, and inclusive teaching style. Cheryl has helped hundreds of beginners discover their creativity through workshops, paint & sip events, and private classes - proving that anyone can learn to paint. Her work can be found locally and through Columbia Arts Guild events throughout the year.
