Cheryl Hardacre is an artist and author.
Her critically acclaimed first book,
CHEWING GUM IN HOLY WATER was shortlisted in a major literary award and published internationally. Her second book, 
A BIGOT IN THE APPLE TREE was long-listed in a major British literary award; poignant and darkly humorous, it is a story of bigotry and belonging. Its young female lead is described as "a cross between Scout from Mockingbird and Arya from GOT."
​
Cheryl's impressionist artworks, vibrant and quirky interiors and landscapes in colours reminiscent of Gaugin or Van Gogh, are in demand in Australia & Europe.
