Cheves is now an art teacher at SAISD's Steele Montessori Academy. She has exhibited extensively in Texas, nationally, and internationally. Cheves' work involves photographic installations that have deep roots in surrealism, the decadent excess of vanitas still life, and the neo-baroque illusionistic view of the frame. Her most recent work studies psyche and identity relationships of the self during pregnancy and postpartum, as they abstractly swell and shrink.
