Sherrie Nielsen
Sherrie Nielsen creates paintings and drawings that celebrate wildlife, domestic animals, birds and plant life. Her work is rooted in reverence for the poetic force of creation. Her subjects, whether encountered in a fleeting glance or an intimate moment, are portrayed with physical accuracy and inherent presence. She seeks to honor the living heritage of individuality of form, intelligence, and resilience amid the sublime forces of nature and interactions with people to invite and encourage sustained viewing and reflection. She hopes such observation becomes empathetic connection with her subjects as she depicts defining moments of drama, nobility, humor, and whimsy.
Nielsen works primarily in oil, with occasional joyful diversions into charcoal and colored pencil. She values traditional materials for their capacity to convey nuance, texture, and permanence. She is an Associate Member with Distinction of American Women Artists; and is a juried Associate member of Women Artists of the West and Oil Painters of America.
