From Photographs Do Not Bend Gallery:

"This is Cheryl Medow’s first solo exhibition in the gallery. In the summer of 2020, PDNB presented an online exhibition for Cheryl, and she has been featured in several PDNB group exhibitions.

Medow travels to locations local and international to photograph many species of birds. Her birds are placed in an imagined landscape. None of these feathered friends find themselves in their true environment in Cheryl’s final composition.

For example, a beautiful sleeping snowy egret is found with tropical trees in the background under a dramatic night sky with the starry Milky Way. In another photograph, a crowned crane is seen perched on a snarled tree stump, seemingly focused on a food source or keeping safe. The misty background of grassy shores of what looks to be a river under a blue sky contrasts mightily with the crane's vivid black, white and red feathers.

Cheryl Medow’s photographs have been exhibited in the Ogden Museum, New Orleans, LA, The Wildling Museum, Solvang, CA, and the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, Chicago, IL.

An exhibition catalog is available."
