Sherry displays a natural talent in the Arts that has been evolving since early childhood. She doodled all over everything in the house and would sometimes be in trouble because of it. Her parents encouraged her to follow her dreams and were very supportive.
While she has had formal training, her style is fresh, unique as well as expressive. Her Mixed Media, Watercolours, Monoprints and Pastel paintings have been published as well as displayed in Private and Corporate Collections in Canada and the USA. She is a busy Real Estate Professional as well as an Art Teacher and enjoys helping others express themselves artisically. Sherry encourages her students to use any of her brushes, supplies and nothing is “off limits” in her studio. As Artists, you need to nurture, feed in order to grow. She feels very blessed, grounded and has a great sense of balance in her life.
Sherry is a proud Canadian, born in Pembroke, Ontario, Canada. Raised in Ontario as well as Western Provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. Her father served in the Canadian Armed Forces and the family moved around the country.
She moved to the US in 1993 to pursue a publicly traded, manufacturing business venture and has stayed here in Arizona ever since. She loves it in the south and feels she has the best of both.
Art /Business Studies Include: Okanagan College, Caribou College, SAIT, Yavapai College, Mesa Community College and numerous workshops in various mediums.

On a personal note: Lastly, I want to mention my late husband Bruce who was killed in a tragic accident in 2003. He was a great supporter of me and if it wasn’t for him pushing me, I would not be painting today. Poor guy, I took over his basement with presses, kiln’s, ceramics, welding you name it….He finally said that I could not do everything in mediums and that I had to pick one. I picked my Monoprint Press and think of him everytime I use it. He is always with me in my heart and spirits. Thank you and miss you so much.
