Artworks by a self-taught artist with a doctorate in Creativity, Art, & the Sacred speak to the heart and subconscious, bypassing the intellect. "My first memory is of insisting when I was four that prospective buyers of our Atlanta house see the paintings I'd done in my bedroom closet." Born Atlanta, GA. Grew up in Jacksonville, FL. 30 years Santa Fe, NM. 8 years in Marin County, CA. “Art is a doorway, the freshness of the fountain within. My inspiration comes from quiet interior states, meditation experiences, and contemplative creative time with nature, books, and art. I create art that expands and enlivens consciousness, that nourishes, heals and makes whole, and is a wonder to myself and others.” Artist Interviews: https://theheroinejourney2016.wordpress.com/2017/07/06/the-heroines-journey-of-sherri-silverman/ + many more from 2022, 2023 on my website.
