ARTIST STATEMENT

Sherri's landscape collages are made from handmade papers collected over the years from around the world.

A studio full of hundreds of patterned and textured papers provides inspiration for the compositions while the tactile feel of tearing paper and intuitive process reflects spontaneity. In this post-pandemic world, her hope is that these colorful works reflect a bright and optimistic time.

As a self-taught artist, Sherri is best known for her bold landscapes, colorful flowers, graceful dancers and abstract images, which she creates using a mix of inks, acrylics and collage. She is passionately committed to sharing her vision—and her talents—in a way that inspires personal growth in others and helps to support causes that are important to her. She has donated artwork and volunteered her time to support local arts organizations and charities.

As a finance professional with a Harvard MBA, Sherri draws upon her artistic instincts to bring creative problem-solving to her work. While it may seem that these two worlds are far apart, each rewards “out of the box” thinking, attention to detail and bold, contrarian approaches. Creating art also serves as a meditation and a source of positive, restorative energy.

Sherri Andrews is an award-winning artist and recipient of the prestigious Ben Whitmore Purchase Award from the Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie. Her “Abstract Poppies” painting was purchased for the museum’s permanent collection.

Her work has been accepted at juried venues, including Phillips’ Mill, Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie, D&R Greenway, BSB Gallery, and West Windsor Arts Council. Sherri was honored to have her first solo show at the Plainsboro Library in 2019 and is currently represented by Karen Anderer Gallery in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and Zuzu Gallery in Lawrenceville, New Jersey.
