After many years working in administration, I've retired from the workforce to dedicate more time to my hobbies and passions. Raising five sons sparked countless creative projects along the way. I fondly remember turning Styrofoam packing materials into spaceships for action figures, transforming shoe boxes into tankers, and painting my kids' bedrooms with vibrant Dragon Ball Z and dinosaur scenes. Creativity has always been a driving force in my life, and I take great joy in turning what others might see as "trash" into treasures. As a small business owner, I take pride in painting and embellishing all of my own work, bringing my unique vision to life in every piece I create.

When I am not painting, I am writing! You may get my books at www.amazon.com/author/cherylhoppebooks.com
