Cheryl Ann Webster
Sculpting Emotions through Art & Therapy
Giving form to feeling.
Cheryl-Ann Webster is a clay sculptor and Registered Canadian Art Therapist (RCAT). Her work explores resilience, vulnerability, and the emotional architecture of lived experience. Through sculptural vessels and layered surfaces, she brings emotional and psychological insight into material form.
Sculpting Emotions
Definition:
verb / ongoing practice
To shape internal experience through material form — adding, subtracting, refining, and revealing. A process of translating lived experience into structure, where motion, pressure, fracture, and repair become visible.
In the Studio
Sculpting Emotions is an ongoing body of work exploring identity, endurance, fracture, and integration. Built through coil construction and layered surface processes, each vessel carries visible evidence of tension, repair, and transformation. These works are not functional objects, but sculptural forms that invite reflection.
Form & Aperture
Work where structure holds emotional tension
Surface & Mark
work where layering and gesture carry the emotional narrative
Colour & Release
work where energy moves outward, expands, breathes
Selected Work
The work is meant to be felt before it is understood.
Across series, the work approaches the same inquiry from different angles — form, mark, and colour — allowing emotional experience to take shape materially.
Beautiful Women Project
With a background in clay, art psychotherapy, and arts education leadership, Webster’s practice integrates material process with psychological depth. Her earlier installation, The Beautiful Women Project, laid the groundwork for her current body of sculptural work.
