Cheryl Georgette Arent is a multi-disciplinary artist, well-founded in analog photography. Born and raised in Racine, WI, she spent 15 years in NYC working as a freelance photographer, photographing musicians and personalities such as: Mac DeMarco, Julian Casablancas, Akwafina, Eartheater, JD Samson, Kills Birds, Melanie Gaydos, John Cooper Clarke and Bunny Michael. She also worked with artist Vera Lutter for many years, including a 3 year artist residency at LACMA, in which several camera obscuras and a full large format darkroom were built within the museum.
Since moving to LA from BK, Arent has been curiously pulled towards nature and out of the city life. In the wilderness she has found peace in which she can focus on the starlight rock formations, rivers, patterns in bark and the smell of wet moss. Arent is currently looking to discover a path that leads to a lush valley that she can build a home with a strong foundation, a garden containing natures secrets and a life worth living in the sun and under the moon. Her newest work aims to dissect the wonder of the world, in caves, bodies of water, on a sunny hillside, reflecting on life, death and beauty.
Arent's photography work has been featured in a variety of publications, including Interview Magazine, Alt Citizen, VICE, NME, BULLETT, Nylon, Dazed and Confused, NOISEY, Fact Mag, Impose, Rolling Stones Mexico, Equate Magazine, Thrill Jockey, The Quietus, Tiny Mix Tapes and Village Voice.
