Artistic Inspiration

​

Sheri was born and raised in Canada and spent most of her adult life working in various countries around the world. In 2018 she moved back to Canada, settling in the small port-side town of Gibsons BC where she draws inspiration from the nature around her. These quiet times of reflection as well as the years spent diving and hiking around the world continue to nurture her spirit.  Sheri seeks to capture the essence of life, painting the connection and rhythm that exists in nature. Within these rhythms, there exists a subtle thread that binds us collectively to the invisible world, guiding us as we navigate the dance between opposing forces—change and constancy, stillness and movement.  

​

Sheri works mainly in acrylic, using collage, pastel and glazes to create paintings rich in texture and atmosphere. This movement invites viewers to pause and reflect on this delicate interplay and discover their own connection to the unseen rhythms of life.

 

Teaching Philosophy

Mainly a self taught artist she studied with a range of instructors learning watercolour and experimenting with acrylic. She now shares her knowledge as a facilitator and painter, encouraging others to create artwork from a place of childlike wonder, nurturing creativity and supporting others to explore their artistic voice.​

 

Studio and Recognition

Sheri has been a guest artist on An Artist in The House (National TV broadcast) and won the Sunshine Coast Writers Society People’s Choice Award for best painting at the Art and Words festival in 2024. Some of her paintings have been featured in the anthology “Not an Island” and on the cover of Snippets in a small town” showcasing life on the BC coast.
