The artistic works of Cher Pruys reflect her respect for the subjects she portrays. Her precise paintings capture every detail providing the viewer with extreme realism as well as evoking a mood that places you at the scene.
Born in Regina, Saskatchewan she has had a passion for art from a very young age. She is a self-taught artist whose work has received international acclaim. Her works may be found in museums, galleries, aviation schools, and both personal and corporate collections worldwide.
Cher now resides in Devlin, Ontario, where many of her subjects dot the skies above her home on the banks of the Rainy River. Her works have graced the covers of 3 books, and numerous magazine covers. She has done several interviews with CBC radio, and had feature articles in countless magazines and newspapers. Her chosen mediums are watercolor and acrylic, although her large scale murals are in oil. She also teaches piano and guitar.
She has received numerous awards over the years, including the ASAA Award of Distinction and The Aviation Space and Technology Best of the Best Award, for "Brilliant Finish", and Second Place in the military category of the Aviation Space and Technology awards for "Warbirds". Cher was elected as a Fellow Member of the ASAA in July 2013.
Pruys says "I find deep satisfaction in helping to portray the rich aviation history that helped to shape our nation, through my art. Producing works that pay homage to the many men and women whose involvement in the aviation field led to the development of our country, especially in the north, is such an honour."
