🚗 Arts all over Missouri: Today at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia, Cherie Peters of Osage Beach comes on board as a resident artist at the Fine Arts Building. She’ll stay till the Fair’s end Sunday. She’ll be showing fairgoers how she uses hot wax (encaustic), wires, and a few other simple tools to transform materials from nature into sculpture. mostatefair.com/attractions/artists-in-residence

We know Ms. Peters and her expressive art well! We welcomed her to our roster last December. 😃 Cherie Peters Art

Now on Exhibit at The Creamery Art Center ✨
I’m excited to share that three of my encaustic and fiber mixed-media sculptures are currently on exhibit at "With Every Fiber" exhibiton at The Creamery Art Center in Springfield, Missouri through August 28.
These pieces combine encaustic wax, fiber, found and textured materials to create sculptural works that explore nature, memory, and the beauty of things gathered and transformed.
The exhibition features so many creative and inspiring works by talented artists, making it well worth a visit! 🎨
If you’re in the area, stop by and enjoy the exhibition before it closes on August 28.

I am honored to have been selected as an Artist in Residence at the Missouri State Fair!
I’ll be at the Fair August 19–23, sharing my passion for encaustic art through demonstrations, conversation, and hands-on creative experiences. I’m excited for the opportunity to connect with fellow artists, fairgoers, and anyone curious about this unique medium.
I’m especially grateful for this opportunity to represent the arts and share the process behind my work with the Missouri community.
I hope you’ll stop by and say hello! 🎨✨
