Sherri as a child
Sherri's inspiration for these whimsical worlds comes from her lifelong love of fantasy. As a little girl she danced and played with imaginary fairies, and swam with invisible mermaids. She pushed her beloved frogs and toads in her baby buggy and collected snails from under the garden leaves. Her studio is now in her home town of San Clemente, California is surrounded by the beach, which provides her with wonderful visions of mermaids, fairies, dragons, castles and more.
