About the Artist

Sherri Burritt
I'm an award winning artist living in Central Illinois."Creating beauty has always been a part of my life. It may be through painting, designing, or decorating. It's what I do, and what I am." My focus has been mainly in watercolor for 3 decades. Twelve years ago, I started using oils in my painting and have not looked back. I love the textures I can achieve with oil. When I paint I want my work to convey some type of emotion be it romance, drama, playfulness, or mystery. I try to paint more than just a scene. I want a feeling.RELATED WORK HISTORY Assistant Executive Art Director PJS Publications for several national and international magazines: CRAFTS, SEW NEWS, SHOOTING TIMES, ROTOR & WING, and several Special Issues.
