Cheryl Elich-Krumpelt is a photographic artist, painter and poet. Formerly, she created corporate identity and business to business marketing materials for major corporations and owned her own business licensing her artwork to manufacturers for the application on to products. After a hiatus from the creative world, in the Autumn of 2013 Cheryl decided to direct her focus on photography. In January of 2014, Cheryl entered her first juried photography competition in Los Angeles, CA. Cheryl's photograph was chosen to be included in the exhibition. Encouraged by this outcome, she continued to concentrate on educating herself about photography and now strives to use her camera as a tool to communicate messages through her images and by combining all of her artistic efforts to create one art form.
