Cheryl Haithco Collection

"I have loved art from the time my mother exposed me to drawing and painting with trips to the DIA as a young child growing up in Detroit. I constantly drew and with my  parents’ encouragement my interest in art continued through to Mercy High School and progressed to majoring in art at Mercy College in Detroit.
I create original acrylic paintings for people to embrace and enjoy art. The beauty of nature, the basic contrast of shades from light and dark, the simple tilt of the head, or the expression on a child's face bring many emotions to light.

My work has also been on display and sold at the Detroit Historical Museum, the Cause and Affect Gallery in Fenton, MI, the Hawk in Farmington Hills, the Farmington Hills City Hall and two paintings were shown at The Charles H. Wright Museum in Detroit, MI in 2020. In 2019, 2022, 2024 my paintings were juried into the two-year display in the Farmington Hills City Hall. I also had a solo show in the Farmington Hills City Hall. Henry Ford Health Systems purchased three of my paintings for its personal collection. Four of my paintings were displayed in the Blue Cross Blue Shield building in Grand Rapids, MI for ArtPrize 2022, the Devos Convention Center ArtPrize 2023 and at Intercept Studios ArtPrize 2024.

Currently, I am an artist in residence and Gallery Director at Blackbird Gallery in Farmington Hills. I donate paintings to raise funds for schools and nonprofit organizations throughout the United States and enjoy using my skills to expose youth in the metro Detroit area to the arts."
