California born Cheryl Kline has made an impact on the art world with her large abstracted landscapes of the sky. Influenced by Turner, and Hudson River School artists, Kline found her own way of describing what she calls “Operas in the sky.”

This new collection of paintings, “Clouds got in my way” offer a unique perspective of the artist’s celebration of the grand and awesome skies off the pacific coast and her travels to far away lands.

Kline continued her studies in painting at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy.
