Cheryl Owen

Cheryl Owen-Sobrepeña, or better known as Cheryl Owen, was born and raised in Manila, Philippines. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Santo Tomas with a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts, Major in Advertising Arts in 2009.

After graduating, she pursued an advertising career until she left the industry in 2016. Since then, Cheryl has ventured on her own as a full-time visual artist, illustrator, and creative entrepreneur.
She has exhibited her works in various galleries in the Philippines and has worked on private and commercial illustrations.

Cheryl's works are watercolor and oil paintings that are inspired by the great outdoors, the Divine Feminine, and the human psyche.
She weaves her imagery with a touch of symbolism that speaks and connects to the viewer on an intimate level. Cheryl's depiction of portraits and bodies intertwined with elements of nature and scenic landscapes explores the almost forgotten relationship of humans and nature in this day and age. Through her visuals she suggests that the metaphors of the natural world are teachings that could guide us on our journey back to our personal truth and towards spiritual rebirth.

Cheryl now resides with her husband and four cats in Batangas City. If she is not working in her studio, she could cither be seen jogging outside, spending time with the cats, repotting her plants, or camping in the nearest mountain with their friends.
