Cheryl Fair 

Hello,

I am a multidisciplinary artist, author, and researcher/writer for museum exhibitions, based in Baltimore, Maryland. My work spans visual art, photography, fiction and nonfiction writing, film, and astrology, with a longstanding interest in culture, history, and the metaphysical.

My novel Talk Teeny, my second book, was published by Apathy Press Poets’ Entity imprint on June 22, 2026. It is my first work of fiction. My first book, Joe Quigley, Alaska Pioneer: Beyond the Gold Rush, a nonfiction biography of my great-great-uncle, was published by McFarland Publishing in 2020.

For more than 25 years, I have worked as a photographer, with a focus on fine art, documentary, editorial, promotional, and event photography. My photographs have been published in newspapers, magazines, websites, and books on alternative culture, and my art photography has been included in juried exhibitions and featured in galleries and other public venues.

My paintings have been included in juried gallery exhibitions and featured on the large LED board on Charles Street in Baltimore, across from Penn Station. My short films and music videos have appeared in film festivals, on broadcast television, and on various websites. My video for Dreamchild’s “Alone,” which I directed, won the 2020 Saturday Visiter Award, vetted by Poe Baltimore and the Poe Museum in Richmond, Virginia.

I am also the creator of the Magical Realism Tarot, combining my art photography, writing, and interest in the metaphysical. It became a published 78-card tarot deck in 2015 and remains available.

I am also a professional astrologer. My astrology services are available through my astrology website.

For more information, my art résumé, and work samples, see my Baker Artist portfolio. My work is handled on a case-by-case basis and tailored to the specifications of each assignment.
