Hello and welcome to my website. My name is Sherri Richards and I am a fine artist who lives with
my husband and two children in a suburb in Atlanta, Georgia.
After growing up in a family of artists in
Toledo, Ohio, I moved here and finished my Bachelor's of Fine Arts degree at Georgia State University with a concentration
in drawing, painting, and printmaking.
My work is diverse, romantic, and impressionistic. Some
of my paintings are a medley of colors while others are more subtle. The beauty of nature is translated through my bird paintings,
animal portraits, and beach scenes. I also look for beauty in people through their ethnicity and various moods. I always
try to keep a youthful outlook therefore, Fantasy intrigues me and this is seen in my paintings of fairies, carousel
horses, and children's illustrations. Sometimes my work is narrative as in my social commentary about "Teenage
Pregnancy," and the paintings portraying the"International Health" field (in which my husband works).
In 1994 I founded Her Father's Business based on the scripture from the gospel of St. Luke chapter 2 verse 49. My business
specializes in commissioned paintings. This has lead to art projects (including murals) within the Fulton
County School System and various businesses. I also teach art in schools, to home-schooled children, and in summer camps.
My family and I have lived in Guatemala, and have traveled extensively in parts of Europe, the American east and west coasts,
and to several islands including Hawaii.
Outside of working I am a member of the Atlanta Artists
Center, Dunwoody Fine Arts Association, Museum of Contemporary Art, and The Society of Children's Books Writers
and Illustrators. I also enjoy watching classic and recent movies, spending time with my children, studying the
Bible, playing tennis with my husband, going to the theatre, relaxing on the beach, practicing my culinary skills. and painting
in my studio.
I do hope that you"ll enjoy browsing my website. Feel free to visit
often.
