Fine Artist Exhibiting Contemporary And Abstract Paintings
About Me
My Inspiration
- I interpret what I view in a contemporary style. Color and light are important fundamentals in my work as they evoke the mood and style of the subject matter. My goal is to draw the viewer into the painting by creating a story or facet of mystery through these elements. Often my work elects a "Where am I" query that begs for interpretation and exploration through the viewer's experiences. Color is used to challenge the viewer to think beyond what is real, what is not and what could be.
BIO
Sherri Starr is an award winning Cape Cod artist and is a juried artist member of Cape Cod Art Center and multiple art centers on the Cape and SE Massachusetts. She began painting after retiring from her career in the regional shopping center industry. Originally from Missouri, she has lived in California, Florida, Anguilla, and now Cape Cod. Her art reflects the color influences of warm and tropical climates and is prominently display in the abstracted cities and landscapes.
Through her artistic journey, Sherri's work has progressed from realism to contemporary abstraction. Her current work of abstracted cities was created during the time of the covid pandemic quarantine. The cities invite the viewer to explore through color, pattern and mystery with hope for happier times.
