Cheryl Lankhaar Artist and Illustrator

A historic mountain inspiration to paint  

    Our book The Monteagle Assembly, Kinsley's Story  was created to tell the story of a child's delightful experience

in spending the entire summer at the Monteagle Sunday     School Assembly. My dear friend, Brigid Murphy Stewart ,

the book's author, wrote this touching book around my gouache illustrations. We interviewed numerous Assembly families to discover what key elements of the Assembly experience have kept families returning for over 7 generations and integrated these  into our book.

​

This was our Covid project over an 18 month time span. We published this book as leap of faith. We were unsure if anyone would be interested in our historic childhood literature piece. Once the book was published we received an overwhelming positive response and sales were bountiful. This has been a  profoundly rewarding and  challenging project which enriched my growth as an artist. I utilized my knowledge of painting people, landscapes and architecture  to create these illustrations.

 

Together with the author, I developed unique designs

to accommodate the needs of our book and helped to

preserve precious memories for all who love MSSA

- especially the children..
