Her work is both traditional and representational in style and she paints figurative as well as landscape and still life; but the majority of her work is western and equine subjects. The history and tradition of the American West inspires much of her work.

Sherry is constantly refining and developing her unique style. She hopes to continuously grow and broaden her use of light, values, and color, and push her work to the next level.
