She has a joint exhibition at Moruya's Mechanics Institute with her partner Don Atkinson with whom she lives with at Tuross Head entitled Cheryl and Don Duo that is on display until January 28.

She is also pleased with sales of her work on exhibit at the Ivy Hill Gallery at Wapengo until February 1.

Ms Davison said she has been so busy painting over the past few months that she is taking a bit of a break from the easel, instead focusing on her fabric and paper she creates with fibres harvested from locally growing native plants.

She has been working with the Primose Park studio in Sydney to create hand-made paper that in itself is art or on which she can paint.

Her hand-made native fabrics were accepted into the National Gallery back in 1995.

Having recently mentored the Far South Coast artists for the Pallingjang Saltwater project at Wollongong Regional Gallery, Ms Davison found time to prepare her fifth exhibition at Ivy Hill.

Gallery owner Carolyn Killen is thoroughly thrilled by her artwork and in 2008 she took an exhibition of Cheryl's paintings to New York.

Her work is now hanging in private collections in the United States and France and the Westpac boardroom in New York.

“Cheryl’s paintings reflect the stories of her culture as told to her by family elders, members of the Walbunga people of Moruya and the Ngarigo people of the Monaro,” Mrs Killen said.

This year Cheryl was also chosen to participate in Indigelab, a fortnight’s residential workshop at Bundanon, she said.
