Artist Bio

Cherie Mongony is a Western Australian Visual Artist who strives to find the beauty in life's everyday simplicities. 

​

'When you observe something so closely for a period of time you begin to appreciate it in a whole new light. This is why I love portraiture; because you begin to see the beauty in the imperfections.'

​

'I enjoy the challenge involved in producing art. For me, it's not so much about communicating something to the viewer, but more so to feel something when I create it. This is why I like to use a new media or technique without doing any practice, or why I like to suddenly paint/draw a completely different subject matter. It's also why I have produced portraits of children living in poverty and men battling with drug addiction; I think about their stories as I work and then hope that something good will come out of me producing that artwork.'
