Sherry Whitney
Interpreting the beauty around me

Sherry has had a lifelong interest in art. She graduated from FSU with a Bachelors in Art in 1974.  As her children were growing up, she enjoyed working in watercolor and had works in several local galleries. In recent years she has gotten back into oil painting for the first time since college, and has had several local shows highlighting her work.  She is involved in Natalia's figure -painting group, and in a portrait group, both with live models.  

Sherry likes to paint in Alla Prima style, and has really enjoyed doing Plein Air, participating in a number of workshops and paint-outs, including several with local plein air groups.  She has been fortunate in recent years to be an invited participant in the Wekiva Springs Paintout and the New Smyrna Beach Paintout.  Landscapes and portraits are her favorite subjects in  impressionist style.
