Cheryl lived her life at the speed of light and left us suddenly March 30, 2009.
Those few pages were her personal web site.
May it stay with us forever as her legation that will keep her alive in our memories.

Ma Cherie : Cheryl , she was 13 ...

I, (Cherie (Cheryl) Mellen Perelsztejn) was born and raised in New York City for 22 years of my life. I have spent a good part of my life in Israel in various cities as well as a Kibbutz, both in the southern and northern area. Having also lived with my family on a moshav in the Negev desert. (Yes, a lot of moving) I enjoy my life with my 3 adult children(Amichai, Karen and Hela) and husband, Patrick (who is an IT and Internet Technologies pioneer) as well as Patrick's 5 kids (Ilanith, Din, Niv, Lior and Gal) who have made a rounder family .
I have always been attracted to the Arts and Computers. I have always felt a connection with the palettes of colors and imagination that can be found not only in the range of artist galleries but in nature around me as well. I try to absorb the beauty surrounding me and translate it into art as I both see and feel it.
It is with the development of Graphic Arts and Design that I have meshed my love for both the Art and Computer.

I have a on going virtual exhibition on the Internet at EXPOZE. I am constanly adding new materials and trying to improve my style.

My formal education is varied and takes into consideration the perspectives of my "eyes view" of art and graphic design.
