Meet Cherie Ramsdell
Horses, cattle drives with her grandfather, harsh winters, and the quiet grit of a cowboy’s country aren’t just elements of Cherie Ramsdell’s life; they are what inspire her work.
The Gallery Off 80th was proud to sponsor the 2026 Ocala Food & Wine Festival at World Equestrian Center – Ocala, including Friday evening’s Chefs’ Dinner on November 6.
Hosted at The Equestrian Manor, the dinner brought fine art into an evening centered on food and wine. Paintings and sculptures from our gallery welcomed guests at the reception, setting the scene for a five-course dinner created by WEC’s culinary team.
For us, sharing art is about creating opportunities for people to pause, discover something that speaks to them, and connect. Being part of this gathering gave us a chance to bring that spirit beyond the gallery walls.
Thank you to World Equestrian Center for including us in the celebration, and to everyone who spent time with the art throughout the weekend.

Sometimes the greatest gifts arrive at the most unexpected times. With a master’s degree in exercise physiology and plans to open a sports performance facility, Jonathan Noon thought he knew his career path.
