The Process
The dry brush process works with oil paint straight from the tube. It is applied ever so lightly by brush, directly on acid free museum board and paper, repeating the application layer by layer to bring out the finer details and shadows.
Shown here is a collection of original work by Cherree Mallette. Inquire for more information.
Due to the delicacy of Cherree’s work you’re encouraged to view her pieces in person at her studio. Learn more
Echoes Beneath the Surface captures the quiet tension of air bubbles rising through water, rendered in cool teal and blue tones that shift from light to dark.
Three translucent spheres hover against a softly graded background, their varied sizes and delicate textures suggesting both architectural precision and organic growth. The interplay between geometric clarity and abstract detail invites a deeper look into layers of form and space, evoking the sensation of being submerged and observing elements that float just beneath the ocean’s surface.
The work balances-controlled technique with a fluid spontaneity, reflecting the fragile, fleeting nature of bubbles in motion and the immersive calm of underwater stillness.

The Process
The first step includes a phone conversation to determine the scope of the art. The discussion includes the subject matter, size, location, and environment, estimated time onsite, any special requests and answer any questions about the art and process.
Cherree then meets onsite with you and anyone else associated with the artwork. This is done to get a feel of the subject(s) personality to best represent this in the art.
Cherree will then spend the necessary time photographing the subject(s) in their environment and capture them from her perspective. This is used as a reference for the art. Upon returning back to her studio she will create a pencil drawing to better show what direction she plans to take. You will receive an email of the drawing and be asked a time to discuss this with you.
Next, Cherree will start the art. This part of the process will take between 2 to 4 months depending on size and subject matter.
Upon completion the art will be sent to you.
If desired, additional collaboration is available for framing, placement and accessories to accent the art.
Payment
After the preliminary conversation a fee is given in the form of a contract. The contract will need to be signed and returned with a payment of 1/3 of the fee.
Additional 1/3 of the fee is due after the drawing is emailed and a phone conversation is completed.
Upon completion and prior to shipping you will receive an email of the final art. At this point the final payment is due.
Note: The estimate may be altered depending on the onsite meeting, which may change the scope of the work. The change will be explained so that the buyer understands why the change.
