Cheryl Maeder is intuitively linked to everything in the world around her and us. Now is our chance to see a variety of her works which focus on relatedness. She speaks for Mother Nature, as a guide to all of us.  The core of Cheryl Maeder’s work is about “connection”; the connection to the self, each other and to all life forms on this planet.  It is Maeder’s philosophy, that we humans are not only of this world, we are also connected to the broader universe.  It is this concept that permeates throughout her limited edition photographs and video installations…

 

 

 

“World Upside Down” by Cheryl Maeder

 

 

 

Born in New Jersey, Cheryl Maeder moved to Zurich, Switzerland in her early 20’s, where she studied photography at the Zurich University of the Arts.  Eight years later, she returned to US and opened her photography studio in San Francisco, where she photographed international advertising and fashion campaigns.  She transitioned from photographing fashion models to photographing real women, to celebrate the beauty of women in all shapes and sizes. In 2005, Maeder relocated her studio to the Miami area and deeply immersed herself into fine art photography and filmmaking.

 

 

 

“Super Natural Rose” by Cheryl Maeder

 

 

 

Cheryl Maeder tells The Rickie Report, ” I am a Fine Art Photographer and Video Installation artist. The core of my work is about “connection”; the innate connection to the self, each other and to all other life forms on this planet.  I have made a career out of creating work that is the opposite of any trends. Celebrating the beauty of women in all shapes and sizes, my photography work became the inspiration for the global Dove Campaign on ‘Real Women, Real Beauty’, which transformed the way women are viewed in the global media today”.

“Submerge Judith II” by Cheryl Maeder

 

 

Maeder goes to to explain, “When the trend in still photography was hyper-definition, I photographed intentionally out of focus and abstract. Through my experimentation with new technologies, and shifting between the mediums, I am creating new opportunities for large scale public art installations.  I began “Super Natural” in March during the Covid19 pandemic. Fusing the natural world with my inner world, I create visuals that are somewhere between reality and the sublime. I create both the photographs and film for this series entirely on location working with the elements of wind and the natural light. The fog of color is created in each setting on location. As the color lifts and fades away, I am reminded of the impermanence of life”.
