In September 2021, the construction began on my studio/bunkie at my cottage in Muskoka. Envisioned by myself and my contractor Yuill McGregor of North on Sixty and Yuillbuilt. I had met him when my husband decided to buy a desk made with "live edge" wood from Yuill's mill. I also visited the laneway house he had built behind his Toronto home. That design, his attention to details, the wood finishes, and the functional extras sold me on his work. The project has had its moments - and has been a labour of blood, sweat and tears with many craftsmen contributing to the outcome. This is a behind the scenes look at some of the construction and the finished product.
Now I hope to make it a creative home for my abstract painting, as well as some extra space for guests. Hope you enjoy the video. Comments are welcome. I am also part of the Artrail Muskoka Purple Banner tour, a year round self-guided tour of artists studios in Muskoka. The studio will be open for visitors by appointment.

Meet Cherie Daly whose art expresses hope, energy and vitality, using spatulas, palette knives, sticks to paint with large dramatic strokes. (Artists’ Network - Interview by Angela Lane. June 15, 2021.
ART WALK SQUARE INTERVIEW
Four Toronto based artists have come together to share with you their different perspectives on the world around us. This is an excerpt from the virtual opening of their show.
From every day, contemplative scenes of life by Susan Friedman and her wonderful sense of colour and whimsy, to Nedda Zaharelos’ landscapes layered with glazes and subtle emergence of figures, to Patricia Taylor’s moody, minimalist landscapes which invite the viewer to step inside, to Cherie Daly’s lively abstracts splashed with bright colour and movement, this show offers a varied look at what inspires an artist. Within an overall theme of abstraction, each artist expresses herself uniquely. Inspired by their own life experiences and the world at large, with all its colour, beauty, ordinariness, joy, chaos, and sadness, these four friends and artists present some of their best and most recent artwork. Enjoy seeing the world through their eyes.
Cherie Daly and Kendra Welham talk about Cherie's art and how to get into a state of flow, while at the artist’s Studio 106a, 100 Sunrise Ave. Toronto.
