ABOUT
About the Artist Cheryl Fallon is a self taught photographic artist based in scenic central Pennsylvania. Growing up, she lived in Ipswich, England, Panama City, Florida and Dover, Delaware. At the age of 10 she developed a fascination for the world of the camera. She was particularly drawn to black and white film. It wasn't until she met her future husband, painter, Jody Fallon, that she embraced her true passion for photography. Befriending artists such as Ron Wing, Ellie and Frank Frazetta and seeing the work of Paul Lehr, she realized that her dream could be a reality. Her love of nature and the world which surrounds us is evident in her work. Her images have been described as dreamlike and a unique fusion of grittiness, vintage feeling tones with a touch of indescribable darkness. Much of this darkness draws from her very early youth living in England. On the weekends, her parents would take her on tours of castles and ruins. These early experiences instilled in her a sense of history and the evitable tragedy of life. It is her hope that in her landscape work this darkness may remind us that all beauty fades and that time is fleeting and that life should be treasured. All of her figurative work focuses on the struggles of life especially that of women. While drawn to the work of Edward Weston and Jan Saudek, the artists that she admires most are painters including Monet, Degas, Inness, Ryder and Andrew Wyeth.Cheryl has exhibited throughout Pennsylvania and most recently in New York City. Her work is held in numerous private collections throughout the United States and in Great Britain and Canada. Limited edition stretched canvas prints are also available at The Decor Gallery, 3rd Avenue, New York, NY and all work is available online at www.CherylFallon.com.Additionally, Cheryl, is owner of Moxie Mama Studios which is her fine art portraiture studio specializing in maternity, newborn, boudoir and trash the dress, as well as family, senior and wedding photography.Cheryl currently lives in central Pennsylvania with her husband, Jody, and her two sons, Jack & Cole, ages 6 and 4.
