I love baboons, although they can be really naughty! I have the pleasure of seeing these wonderful creatures on a daily basis – sometimes raiding my kitchen!

About Cherie Roe Dirksen

So much is taken for granted on a daily basis and I want to bring to the forefront colour, vibrancy, frequency, pensiveness, wonder, reflection, action and energy through my passions.

My art is how I interpret the world around me, it is how I see this life – a palette of unbelievable colours and a sea of energy. The potential every living thing has and the knowledge that everything is a manifestation of the Divine Will is, in itself, pure magic.
