I'm Cherie - lifelong beach lover
I've spent a lot of time on the beach - Gulf Coast, Cape Cod, California. I’m always drawn back to the ocean—the rhythmic sounds of the waves, the salty breeze, and the endless horizon that feels both powerful and peaceful.
I didn’t set out to be an artist. But I’ve always felt the ocean in my soul—the way it slows the world down, how it makes everything feel lighter.
My Mission - bring the calm of the ocean to others
Day to day, it’s just me—a beach-loving lady, a computer, and a smart pen—bringing the ocean to life one piece at a time.
Behind every finished canvas is hours of planning, creating, refining and a little frustration.
All with the hope that it sparks something familiar and fabulous in you
...
that pull to the sea, that sense of calm, that feeling of relaxation.
Canvas Simplicity, Ocean-Inspired
I’ve always loved the clean, sophisticated look of canvas art. Most of the wall art in my own home is canvas—no glass to smudge or break, no mismatched frames to fuss with. Just the full image, tidy and easy.
When I started Stride Coastal, I knew canvas would be the heart of it all—hassle-free, unencumbered, and pure, just like the beach itself.
My Inspiration - YOU
Every time someone tells me what they love most about the ocean, it sparks something new. A color, a feeling, a memory. It goes into my next creation
My art isn’t just mine—it’s shaped by the stories and emotions of other ocean lovers just like you.
My Beach Must-Haves
A book, the ocean, and warm sand—that’s my perfect combination. I never go to the beach without a psychological thriller in hand.
There’s just something about getting lost in a story while listening to the waves that feels completely transformative.
