Cherie Burbach

Cherie Burbach has been an artist and writer since she was very young. Words and images have always been linked for her when it comes to expression and creativity, and often you will find positive words painted or collaged in the backgrounds of her paintings. She paints with vibrant colors that offer a positive, hopeful message. She uses a whimsical style to convey emotion that transcends age and time. She paints from her imagination and has been influenced by a variety of artists, her favorites being the emotive works of Vincent Van Gogh, the mother and child paintings of Mary Cassatt, and the expressive paintings of Marc Chagall. She has authored dozens of books—including poetry, nonfiction, a novel, and a children’s book—and her work has appeared in outlets like NBC/Universal, The New York Times, and Christianity Today. Through every creative project, her heart is to share God’s love and remind others they’re never alone. Cherie is currently a student at Concordia University, majoring in Theology. She looks forward to a future where she can serve through the Lord through pastoring, art, and writing.
