Djerlens Chery displayed artistic promise at a very young age. His innate talent was nurtured at Dillard High School/Center for the Arts and the Visual Arts & Design Academy (VADA) at Broward College. Excelling in murals, his expansive works can be viewed at several prominent locations in Fort Lauderdale, while his smaller scale creations have been displayed at the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens Orchid Festival, Young at Art Museum, Made in Broward, Joseph C. Carter Park, Parker Playhouse, K.C. Wright Art Show, FatVillage and Mass District Artwalks.
The Haitian-American artist has referenced his mentors’ inspiration as being a formative influence, and now today, he shares his love of art as a teacher for the Parks & Recreation Department of the City of Fort Lauderdale at Southside Cultural Arts Center, where he shares his skills and creativity with young children, teens, and seniors.
