Conversations with DaQuane Cherry

Today we’d like to introduce you to DaQuane Cherry.

DaQuane, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I’ve been an artist my whole life. Coming from an unstable upbringing, I used my artistic ability as a coping/ therapeutic sense. I take pride in being inspired by every downfall and turning it into motivation to do better.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
I grew up moving around a lot (27 times a lot). I come from violent alcoholic father and an unstable/ verbally abusive mother. It caused me to feel as though I was robbed of being a child, considering I had to grow up more rapidly than my peers.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a painter who specializes in storytelling with acrylic. My work is mainly recognized through my signature bear themed. The teddy bear represents the imagination. As kids, we give them names, a storyline and as we grow older we forget them… so I rewrite and paint their journey, the three colors are the primary colors in which are the foundation of art and without would leave the world black and white.

Who else deserves credit in your story?
My Instagram supporters are the root to my growth as they show so much love on a daily basis.
