Cher is a multidisciplinary artist and storyteller with a degree in Architecture from Penn State University, where she also minored in Sustainability Leadership and International Arts. Her education took her from the studios of Rome to the savannas of Tanzania, shaping a global perspective that continues to influence her creative work today.
Beginning her career as an architectural lighting designer in New York City, Cher eventually left the corporate path in 2021 to pursue a more intentional, nomadic lifestyle. Since then, she has traveled across the world, using photography, videography, and storytelling to explore themes of place, identity, and transformation. Her work is grounded in emotional honesty and visual sensitivity, often drawing from personal experience and the subtle nuances of human connection.
In addition to her visual art practice, Cher also works with social media—especially Instagram—as a platform for visual storytelling, brand collaboration, and creative community-building.
Through a lens that blends architectural understanding with artistic intuition, Cher seeks to create work that is both grounded and expansive—anchored in meaning, yet open to interpretation.

The rare rainfall in Namibia has recently brought new life to Sossusvlei. While it disrupts the usually minimal landscape, it introduces a refreshing sense of possibility. Sprouts of green hint that even the driest places can transform. Amid this contrast, we managed to create—working with the powerful wind and shifting sand to capture the raw, evolving beauty of the desert in motion.

I stood still while time flowed beneath me—
bridges of stone, stories in wood,
a city that cradles the past
like the river cradles its light.
Phoenix rises, quiet and ancient,
and as moonlight pooled across the floor,
I watched the centuries pass like shadows in steam.

A collection of my favorite frames — moments that moved me, captured across continents.
Each one a memory from years of nomadic life, chasing light, stories, and the quiet magic found in every corner of the world.
