Sheryl Keen

Sheryl works mainly with acrylic mixed media. Using a technique that layers modeling paste, she creates 3D effects in her work. She also creates collage/assemblage pieces.

Her themes include the examination and exploration of self which lead to questions about the best self and how one can get to that self that is seen in the mind’s eye. As humans, we are always evolving and striving to get to a better place. And that better place usually comes with some amount of self reflection and examination.

We are layered, multi-dimensional people who can be several things at once or we can be one thing today and something completely different tomorrow. The one thing that leads us to any place is our thoughts. Because it is what we think that guide our actions and creates the path to our best selves.

She is inspired to provide an impact with her art not just to physical spaces but to mental and emotional ones.

It is Sheryl's belief that art can change a space dramatically and in so doing, change the mood of the persons who use the space. Art can also change the way the world is viewed and an individual’s impression of himself/herself. On all counts, her intention is to help bring about these changes.
