Artists Reflections: I love watching the Wizard of Oz and the character of the wicked witch is my favorite. The actress made such an incredible impression in my mind. About five years ago, our family traveled to New York and watched Wicked on Broadway. It was such an immersive experience and Glinda's character lingered in my mind. Cheryl is my creation using aspects from both witch archetypes. She is a mature and welcoming witch with black hair, green skin and warts on her nose. Her big purple irises, rosy cheeks and beautiful red smile add a touch of whimsy. I love to incorporate rich metallic colors when possible and the color scheme used for the witch are really complimented by the depth and complexity of the copper background.
