About Cherae

Tender heart, steady boundaries, detailed art.

Cherae is a mother, wife, longtime animal-care professional, and artist who feels things all the way through. She spent 21 years as a vet tech, caring for animals and the people who loved them, before giving more room to the thing that has always pulled at her: art.

Her client energy is calm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. She listens closely, makes people comfortable, and brings a steady customer-service grace to the room. When things get stressful, she can shift into manager mode, clean up the chaos, and keep the work moving without making the whole room louder.

In the chair: calm conversation, patience with nervous clients, honest guidance, and a design process that feels cared for instead of rushed.
In the work: animals, botanicals, fine line detail, soft memorial pieces, dark little edges, and color that feels personal.
