The Art of Golf!

The art of golf

As an artist who loves to golf, Cheryl also loves to illustrate golf courses and golf holes! A golf course designer has the unique challenge of incorporating the game of golf to be in harmony with the landscape. Whether it's the elevation change, the creek that winds its way thru the course, the pond you must clear to get on the green, or just the subtle variations of the trees, you must respect the visual aspect of a well-designed golf course.
While on the golf course, Cheryl has a sketchbook in hand, just in case there is time to do a quick sketch of the hole. If you have a favourite golf hole that you would like to memorialize, contact the artist.
