About Me: Sherry was born in Cleveland, Ohio and has been a lifelong resident. She spent a great deal of time, as a child, with her grandmother. She was the first person to introduce her to paint; she made quilts and encouraged artistic expression. Sherry has experimented with many different mediums and also dabbled in many different areas of the visual arts.
Today artwork is a way of life to her. The work is done in acrylic paint because they achieve the vibrant color she is looking for. She likes to paint an idealized sense of peace and simpler times. The artwork is not intended to be photo-realistic, so much as a wishful utopia. The hope is to give the viewer a feeling of happiness, a cherished memory, or some form of intense emotion. She is most known for her landscapes and streetscapes. She has also been spending some of her time pursuing abstract art and illustration art. Some of her favorite subjects to paint are older homes, as well as, little old towns. Much of her inspiration came from a vacation to Maine where she feels she found her artistic voice.
Sherry’s work has been collected in many places such as, Cincinnati, Arizona, Texas, Idaho, and of course all over Ohio. She also has collectors internationally as well. Her hope is to continue to reach people so that they can enjoy her vision of the world. Her opinion on her style of painting is this; “I do not label myself with any certain style of work, as my only limitation is where my imagination ends”.
Her hobbies are watching scary movies, reading a great thriller, spending time with her family, and playing with her dog. Sherry is a huge animal lover. She has donated her artwork to charity art auctions and hopes to continue to support charitable causes. . Sherry recently said: “I will never stop painting till I am no longer a part of this world. I will accomplish much more on my artistic journey. An artist’s life is sometimes very hard but I am what I am and this is what I must do”. Come join Sherry in her alternate reality, a vision of her world”. Thank you for supporting the arts.
