Where Silence Speaks: Spaces Between Words

Cheryl Dyer is a visual artist, calligrapher, and poet based in Omaha, Nebraska, with roots in southeast Iowa. She earned her BA in Communication with a minor in Visual Art from Iowa State University and recently completed her MFA in Creative Writing at University of Nebraska Omaha. Her visual artwork has been exhibited nationally and featured in Letter Arts Review, while her poetry has appeared in several literary journals, earning her two runner-up recognitions for the Helen Kennefick Poetry Prize. Cheryl also teaches poetry and calligraphy classes and works professionally as a lettering artist.

The exhibit also includes a limited-edition chapbook, On the Passage of Time, conceptualized and handcrafted by Cheryl. This collection pairs six original calligraphed poems with corresponding pressure-printed artworks, designed to be displayed on a wall or kept in a handmade folder. Featuring lettering fragments and a sun moving across a horizon, these pieces reflect on time, memory, and connection, reminding us that the quiet spaces between words often carry the deepest meaning.

Come experience Cheryl Dyer’s thoughtful and visually striking work, where poetry, calligraphy, and quiet moments meet in beautiful harmony.
