Cheryl Hironaka’s playful, whimsical exhibit

After moving to Marnes-la-Coquette, a small town outside Paris named by Napoleon 3rd after the Empress Eugenie, painter and furniture designer Cheryl Hironaka was inspired by the beauty and charm of her new home and its environs.

Initially hesitant to move to a small town after the busy streets of New York, Paris and Manila, and later being captivated by the beautiful yet tragic charm of Hanoi, the artist soon found happiness and peace in her new home, the town, and its tranquil forest.
