About Cheryl
Hi!
I’m Cheryl Lawson. I also go by my married name, Bezuidenhout. I am an artist and writer living in Nova Scotia, Canada.
I have made art in various mediums my whole life. Art is a passion and in recent years, I’ve discovered a new passion in writing. I now write regularly and have independently published six books in various genres since 2014.
I love science fiction and have been a life-long fan of franchises such as Star Trek and Stargate, Marvel comics, etc. My recent art includes many pieces of fan art which I love doing because it taps into my enjoyment of cinema and television.
A recent branch of my journey as a writer is exploring adventure romances. My focus is on telling compelling, dramatic stories that are exciting and full of adventurous suspense and unpredictable turns.
If you have any questions about my work as an artist or as a writer, please use the contact form to send me a message.
Thank you for visiting my website. Be sure to browse the galleries and stories I have loaded for your pleasure.
Cheryl
