Sherry (Willow) Arthur/ At First Sight Art Gallery

Sherry Arthur is a professional artist, author, and illustrator. She has released a children’s book titled, “Magical Hallows Eve,” written and illustrated by her. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio. She spent a great deal of time, as a child, with her grandmother, who was the first person to introduce her to paint; she made quilts and encouraged artistic expression. Sherry was an only child and feels she developed her vast imagination from spending large chunks of time alone. The inspirations come from everywhere and no place at all, she believes her Cherokee Indian heritage has a lot to do with her artistic vision. She has experimented with many different mediums and also dabbled in many different areas of the visual arts. Today artwork is a way of life to her. The work is done primarily in acrylic paint. Sherry utilizes vibrant colors and meticulous blends to paint deeply emotional artwork of many styles and moods. Her depictions of landscapes are often whimsical and transcendent hiding places, an escape to a wishful other world. She is also a master at painting the soul baring depths of the human condition into a journey that pulls her viewer into an inescapably intense connection to her work. The artwork is not intended to be photo-realistic, so much as a wishful utopia. She is most known for her imaginary and real landscapes and emotional art. She has also been spending some of her time pursuing abstract art and illustration art. Sherry’s work has been collected all over the U.S. now. She also has collectors internationally as well. Her hope is to continue to reach people so that they can enjoy her vision of the world. Her opinion on her style of painting is this; “I do not label myself with any certain style of work, as my only limitation is where my imagination ends”. Her hobbies are watching scary movies, reading a great thriller, spending time with her family, and playing with her dogs. Sherry is a huge animal lover. She has donated her artwork to charity
