Sheryl Yerro

I am a self-taught Filipina contemporary and figurative artist based in Doha, Qatar. A lifelong love for creativity—in painting, baking, cooking, and transforming everyday things—has led me to discover painting as my deepest form of expression.

My work explores vulnerability and resilience, individuality and belonging, weaving emotion, symbolism, color, and texture into stories shaped by lived experience and the richness of living between cultures.

Having exhibited at the Qatar International Art Festival and been selected for the Arts to Hearts Project: 100 Emerging Artists of 2026, I continue to explore the power of art to evoke emotion and invite connection.

Beyond creating something beautiful, I hope my paintings make people feel something—and leave a lasting impression long after they look away.
