Cheryl (Knapp) Fallon was born in North Carolina in 1975.  She graduated from Dover High School and went on to Bloomsburg University, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology.  
    
    When she was in middle school her father allowed her to use his SLR and gave her some black and white film.  She started taking pictures.   Soon after she inherited her Great Aunt's camera and took a lot more pictures playing around mostly since she didn't know anything about F-stops or exposure.   

   Following college, she started taking pictures occassionally mostly of  sunsets trying to capture that fleeting beauty.  It wasn't until the birth of her first son that the camera became like an appendage.  Each smile and adorable look needed to be frozen in time.  As her appreciation grew for the beauty in her son so also did her awareness of the beauty arround her.  She felt compelled to make it available for all to see. 

Most of her work focuses on the local landscape and items which have been left behind to deteriorate whether it be an old truck or a home.   

Cheryl has exhibited with her husband at the Packwood House Museum.  This year she held her first solo exhibition at the Packwood House Museum in Lewisburg, PA.  She also exhibited with the North Mountain Art League at Phillip's Emporium, Bloomsburg, The Northumberland County Career and Arts Center, Shamokin and in the East Wing of the PA Capital Building in Harrisburg.  She exhibited in 2006 and 2007 at the West Creek Gallery in Benton, PA owned by Ron Wing.  In 2006, she won 2nd place in the professional photography category in the Susquehanna Art Society's Annual Juried Show for Willow Tree.  Cheryl recently was awarded honorable mention in PhotoTechniques Magazine portfolio contest for her photo Morning Dew.  She has exhibited at Gallerie Thirteen, Mechanicsburg, PA, and Framing by CJ  located in Bloomsburg, PA.  Cheryl is a member of the North Mountain Art League and the Susquehanna Art Society.  Mrs. Fallon's work is held in numerous private collections. 

Cheryl currently lives in central Pennsylvania with her husband, Jody, a talented painter, and her two sons.
