instructor: Cheryn rapp

Cheryn Rapp is an illustrator usually found blending the historical calligraphy and illumination styles of medieval manuscripts with subjects found in nature. Using a variety of period-accurate media has provided her a unique perspective on the process of calligraphy, illumination, and book arts as a whole, and several of her pieces are done with historically accurate materials and gold leaf. She also teaches workshops on painting, ink drawing, and a variety of other book arts. 

As a multi-media arts and events professional with a focus on intentional design, Cheryn brings years of experience to everything she does, having worked for large corporations and national nonprofits to small businesses and local start-ups. Her eye for detail, language, and strategic planning allows her to find creative solutions for every project; her curious nature and penchant for asking the right questions from the ground up allows her projects to result in personalized creations and efficient, effective solutions. As a lifelong learner and professional instructional designer, she brings an extremely detail-oriented eye to every challenge that she takes on.

​Cheryn is also a certified Virginia Master Naturalist, an award-winning game designer, and mixed media crafter; when she's not working on nature illustrations or vintage maps, she may be found repairing thrift store dollhouses, sculpting fossilized ichthyosaurs from clay, experimenting with floral design, or constructing a human-sized model of a horseshoe crab.
