When asked about her work:
"I equate my work with creating and building an environment, transforming my inner thoughts into reality. Beginning with the physical process, I work in layers. I am involved in solving visual and verbal complexities such as design and narrative. My urban influence has indeed added an 'edge' to my work."
Cheryl has often been compared to "Dr. Seuss on crack."
