Cherri Wood is one of the few nineteen-year-olds who manages to translate the must-have teenage anxiety and anxiety into beautiful works of art. Her drawings combine a childish manner of drawing - with blots and negligence - and the depth of real adult life.

Cherry's watercolor-ink drawings explore the subtleties of human form, touching on the deepest realms of women's feelings and despair. Describing her paintings as “groups of ink explosions,” the artist sprinkles paper or canvas with diet cola and tea, and then rubs the stains with charcoal and graphite. Cherry Wood's artwork often contains quotes and dialogues gleaned from a variety of classic plays and short stories. They comment on each work and give it a unique charm.

Cherry says that the characters in her paintings seem to come from ghost movies. It is not by chance that she touches on the topic of ghosts. Even as a child, the girl was afraid of ghosts and often could not sleep because of this. Now she depicts them in her paintings, thus trying to understand them and cope with childhood fear.

The process of creating a painting can take several hours or months, and sometimes it only takes thirty minutes. Cherry says that she paints very quickly, and previously could create up to seven paintings in a day. However, she is now trying to slow down her creative process and paint more slowly.

The artist admits that she works best early in the morning, but because of school attendance, she comes to create in the evenings. The girl calls music an obligatory element of her work - not a single drawing session can do without it. Cherry calls her favorite artist Sophie Jodoin, but if she had to travel, she would not hesitate to go to Stockholm (Sweden).

Cherry is currently working on a new series of drawings, which mainly consists of images of animals, sometimes accompanied by little graceful girls.
