BIOGRAPHY
Artist Statement:

My art is a spiritual, emotional and physical expression of my journey in life. It is a visual articulation of my response to influences that have greatly impacted me or moved me, such as my deep connection to nature, and the extraordinary individuals, ideas and philosophies that have given my life joy, meaning and fulfillment.

I believe that we can inspire, empower, uplift and bring joy with what we create – be it a work of art, a piece of writing, or the footprints we leave behind on this earth. I like to think of my paintings as my way of bringing joy, light and positive vibes into someone’s life.

The greatest reward for me as an artist is when someone is touched or moved by my work, and the only thing that’s ever better than that is when someone sees a piece and knows that they have found the piece that they’ve been waiting to bring home!

Biographic Information:

From the time she could hold a pencil, she remembers drawing. Sherry's love affair with art started at the tender age of five, but it was only in recent years that she has seriously walked the path of an artist.

Originally from the multi-cultural, cosmopolitan island of Singapore, her South-East Asian background and rich cultural heritage exposed her to a wide and diverse variety of artistic styles and inspires her richly layered paintings and varied themes. Her background in writing, journalism and graphic design gives her art a vivid and colorful edge.

Her main sources of inspiration are Nature, the Dreamtime, and Love. She enjoys exploring themes that are symbolic, mythological and spiritual in her paintings.

She is now based in Los Angeles, where she paints as well as work in three dimensions through her jewelry making. She still continues her work in the advertising and design industry with writing and design projects.

Her works are a favorite among many, and her paintings enjoy a worldwide clientele, from Australia, France, Italy, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States.
