Growth From A Hard Place
About the work: Jane Cheek’s signal box illustration, “From The Ground Up” imagines plant life persevering and growing from unlikely foundations, serving as a metaphor for human resilience. Cheek is a mixed-media and installation artist creating large-scale works that explore joy, memory, and transformation. Inspired by personal experiences and a deep connection to nature, her practice emphasizes moments of happiness through vivid, hyperbolic forms. Her process is rooted in reclaiming and repurposing materials, transforming what is discarded into monumental artworks with a drawing and digital practice that imagines her sculpture work in two dimensional form.
Created in Adobe Illustrator as a vector graphic // installed on vinyl in 2026 for Raleigh Arts, Raleigh, NC
Pollinating Possibilities
Series of aluminum standees - Smith Elementary Art Courtyard installation
About the work: This mural design, created specifically for the art garden at Smith Magnet Elementary, draws inspiration from the natural world, the school’s vibrant identity, and the rich history of modern and postmodern art. At the heart of the design are abstracted, biomorphic plant forms—organic, playful shapes that reference the visual language of artists like Henri Matisse, Henry Moore, Hilda of Klimt, and Ruth Asawa, as well as postmodern and contemporary artists such as Elizabeth Murray, Alma Thomas, and Yayoi Kusama. These forms are painted in bold, bright colors to spark imagination and evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity.
The mural is not just decorative—it’s a celebration of growth, community, and transformation. It reflects the garden's purpose as a space where creativity blossoms and where students are invited to think expansively, connect deeply, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them.

Where We Built Our Dreams
About The Work: “Where We Built Our Dreams," explores the concept of home and its connection to our sense of belonging and happiness. Through immersive installation works, I invite viewers to explore the multifaceted nature of home and contemplate its significance in our lives.
Using techniques traditionally associated with women's work and craft, I transform ordinary materials into monumental artworks that serve as meditations on intentionality and resilience. Each meticulously crafted piece represents countless small actions, embodying the power of perseverance, and aiming to ignite joy in the lives of the viewer.
The exhibition centers on a three-dimensional house installation constructed from thousands of hand painted mylar pieces suspended in the air that evoke a sense of wonder and playfulness. The colorful strands represent the interconnectedness of individual lives within a community, forming a vibrant tapestry of shared experiences.
