Meet Cheryl

My passion for drawing and painting began as a child and continues to this day. Living in Colorado, I only need to step outside to find inspiration. I find myself drawn primarily to landscapes, to the beauty and color of nature. Initially trained in oils, something special happened when I picked up pastels. Pastels, for me, span both drawing and painting. The immediacy and directness of approach is what I love, along with having all the colors and values at my fingertips. Simply put, I love to draw and paint, it brings me joy and hopefully to those who see it.

Learn more about Cheryl Browder in our Q+A!

What are you known for?

I'm known for my pastel landscape paintings done in a representational style. I'm especially drawn to skies, water and Colorado rural scenes.

What are you working on right now?

Currently, I'm working on paintings of streams and river banks, trying to get a feel for moving water and translucency. Also, I am increasingly interested in trying to achieve a sketchier and looser look to my work.

What do you like to do outside of work?

My favorite thing to do when not painting is to be outside walking or hiking. In the winter months I enjoy nordic skiing and snow shoeing. I also love spending time with my two grandsons!

Where do you find inspiration?

I find my best ideas and inspiration out hiking and exploring throughout Colorado. I like quiet spots along creek beds and evening clouds and skies at dusk. Good art books are also great inspiration.

Do you like to win or hate to lose?

I like to win, for better or worse, I've always been very competitive!

How To Maintain Your Plumbing and Avoid Costly Repair Bills

A plumbing system is a complex network of pipes, fixtures, and valves that all work together to bring you clean water and dispose of your wastewater.

Although this system is designed to last, it can become damaged or worn over time due to age, wear and tear, or even just poor maintenance. Fortunately, there are some simple steps that homeowners can take to extend the life of their plumbing system and avoid costly repair bills down the line. 

Check for Leaks Regularly
Leaky pipes are one of the most common causes of water damage in homes and can be extremely expensive to repair. The best way to avoid leaks in your plumbing system is to check for them on a regular basis. Look under sinks, around toilets, and behind appliances for any signs of moisture or water damage. If you do find a leak, it's important to call a professional plumber as soon as possible to help you identify the source and make repairs.

Clean Out Drains Regularly
Clogged drains are another common problem in many homes. To prevent clogs from forming in your plumbing system, make sure you clean out your drains regularly using an enzyme-based drain cleaner or hot water mixed with baking soda or vinegar. This will help keep debris from building up in the pipes and causing major clogs down the line. It's also important to never put grease down your kitchen sink as this can solidify inside your pipes and cause major blockages over time.

Inspect Exposed Pipes Occasionally
Inspecting exposed pipes occasionally is one of the best ways to ensure that they remain in good condition over time. Look closely at any exposed pipes for signs of corrosion, rusting, or other damage, such as cracks or leaks. If you notice anything unusual, it's important to call a professional plumber right away before small issues become big ones! And don't forget about your water heater—check it regularly for rusting or any other signs that it needs replacing. 

Maintaining a healthy plumbing system doesn’t have to be difficult - but it does require some regular attention from homeowners! Taking proactive steps like checking for leaks regularly, cleaning out drains often, and inspecting exposed pipes occasionally will go a long way toward extending the life of your plumbing system - saving you time and money in the long run! So don’t forget: when it comes to plumbing maintenance, prevention is always better than cure!
