Sherry Roper, oil
Sherry Roper took her first painting class in 2001 and art has been her passion ever since. Sherry’s artistic studies since then have been largely self-directed and her work spans more than 20 years.
Sherry began working in watercolor, with an emphasis on floral scenes and botanical studies. An interest in classical realism led her to study oil painting several years later. Today she works exclusively in oil, painting still life and landscapes with a focus on realism, dramatic light, and exquisite detail. Inspired by the nuances of nature, she creates paintings that celebrate the beauty all around us with a sensuous, timeless quality.
