Who’s Cherrie?
I’m cherry². My name Cherrie Mio チェリー美桜 is split down the middle, just like my DNA: one half poetic Japanese symbolism for the beauty of the ephemeral, one half All-American ‘Would you like that in a pie?’ I’m a jack-of-a-few-trades Tokyoite now based in Seattle, WA—by way of Ithaca, NY, and a detour through Samoa. My creative explorations have run the gamut from octopus murals to horror novella translations, but I keep coming back to photography and creative nonfiction.
Keep watching this space, and you might witness me finally wrestling my inner critic into submission and sharing some of my trauma-dump personal essays and 2D art. Someday!
