* An acrylic artist, Sheri loves to incorporate textures and colors into her art while delving into deep emotions. Creating art takes her mind off of chronic pain. Living with a rare neurological movement disorder called DYSTONIA, which affects her jaw, neck, shoulder and hand. (Dystonia is a chronic, often painful, neurological disorder characterized by extreme muscle spasms that cause involuntary movements and postures in the body and limbs.) Sheri finds picking up a paintbrush makes the tremor stop. Like many aritsts, painting is calming to her soul as well as her body.

* Margi's inspiration as an artist comes from our everyday environment. By layering observational drawing with gestural abstraction, her work aims to capture  the texture of a fleeting moment. Through an experimentation with how a painting can exist outside the traditional picture plane, she seeks to have the viewer's experience mimic her own sense of discovery.

She is a unique, creative, genius! Her work is a MUST see, MUST experience!
