Cheri Gaulke

[10][11] Gaulke has completed three public art projects;- a Metro-Rail Station in Los Angeles that tells stories about an oft ignored urban river,[12] an outdoor sculptural piece for a library in Lake View Terrace, and three stainless steel and glass glowing “Pillars of Community” for the City of Lakewood, California.

[13] A black granite memorial honoring the service of Filipino World War II veterans was dedicated on November 11, 2006 in a park in Historic Filipinotown, Los Angeles, the first such monument in the U.S.[14] In 1991 Gaulke was an Artist Book Resident at Women's Studio Workshop in Rosendale, NY.

While a resident, Gaulke published Impedement, a handmade artist's book that investigates the abuse of women’s footwear and feet through the ages, from the ancient Chinese foot binding to high heeled shoes of the present.

Gaulke's 2013 video Cycle of the Witch, which explores the development of her identity from her childhood as a Midwestern minister's daughter to her adulthood as a lesbian feminist artist living in Los Angeles, was screened at the 'Tapping the Third Realm' exhibition at the Otis College of Art and Design and at Loyola Marymount University in 2013.

[19] In 1986 Gaulke received the Vesta Award from the Los Angeles Woman's Building for Contributions to Performance art,[3] and she was honored with a mid-career fellowship from the Cultural Affairs Department (COLA grant) in 2004-05.
