Paintings & Collections
Each painting is an original work created through an intuitive and expressive process. My collections often emerge organically, guided by a shared color palette, emotional theme, or musical influence.
The work includes abstract and nature-inspired pieces created with acrylics, oil, watercolor, or mixed media, and layered textures. Some paintings are available individually, while others are part of cohesive series designed to be experienced together.
Many collectors are drawn to the way the work brings a sense of calm, movement, and quiet presence into a space. Whether you’re seeking a single statement piece or building a collection over time, I’m happy to help guide you.
Original works are available for purchase, and commissions are welcomed on a limited basis.

Where Color Finds Its Voice
In Cheryl Kaldahl’s artwork, color doesn’t just speak…it sings. Each painting begins as a visual composition, rich with emotion, tone, and texture. From there, the colors themselves become the muse for music, inspiring original compositions that echo the mood and spirit of the canvas. The result is a multi-sensory experience where sight and sound dance together in perfect harmony.
Kaldahl’s process is both intuitive and deeply intentional. She listens to the hues, translating their emotional resonance, symbolic meaning, and energetic presence into melody and rhythm. Every piece becomes a conversation between the visual and the auditory, offering viewers a new way to engage: not just to look, but to listen.
These works invite immersion. The music expands the emotional dimension of the painting, drawing the viewer deeper into the work creating a sense of presence, connection, and wonder.
Cheryl’s paintings have been showcased in solo exhibitions and are held in museum and private collections around the world. Her work has even crossed into fashion, inspiring wearable interpretations of her art, and curated home goods. Her compositions have been featured in documentaries, short films, and commercial media nationwide.
With each piece, Cheryl Kaldahl invites you to step into a world where color becomes sound, and art becomes an experience that lingers long after the moment has passed.
