Brooklyn native Cheryl Gross is an illustrator, painter, writer and motion graphic artist living and working in the New York/New Jersey area. She is a professor at Pratt Institute.

“To begin, my work always follows a narrative while embracing socio-political topics such as extinction, duplication, gender obliteration and diminishing the role of women in a male dominated culture/occupation(s.) My concentration metaphorically replicates our reality.

In creating the work, I combine abstract and realism, traveling through two very different forms of expression, but completely related to one another. My concern with color and design (composition) allows the viewer to navigate the picture plane.”
