Sherry Whetstone has been creating art quilts since 1982 and has displayed her work internationally in such places as the United States Embassy in Lilongwe, Malawi, as well as the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, among other places.
The artist states:
Creating art allows me to express my life experiences in a visual format. When I step back and look at my artwork, I am surprised and equally fascinated with my selection of textiles, beads, buttons and thread that have become my chosen muse. I love to see the delight on a viewer’s face when they discover the little “Sherry” things I place in my work. Art is supposed to be fun so I make sure I do my part!
Each day I embrace the advice my beautiful niece gave me many years ago: “Just do you, Auntie”. So I continue to do me by expressing myself through culturally inspired textiles and fabrics. It is my voice. It is my passion.
Enjoy this exhibit until December 21, 2024.
