Cidney Cher is an artist living and making in Richmond, Virginia. She holds a BFA in Artist Books and Printmaking from Longwood University.
Her studio practice of silk marbling is rooted in the Eastern history of papermaking and book arts.
A reverence for textiles comes from the hands of her grandmother who was a farmer on the Eastern Shore of Virginia with a remarkable love for quilting and fabric.
The focus of her current research centers women in rotorcraft aviation and the spiritual history of Persian marbling and art making in Iran, where her father was from.
