Sherie K

Sherie K. Griffith's drawings and portraits have been capturing the attention of people for years. Her unique use of pencil and the portrayal of sunlight and shadows is quite intriguing. Sherie works on a variety of different subjects and papers. Architecture is a big favorite, with doors, windows or a garret being the sole focus. Portraits are exciting because every one is different and there are so many ways to capture a likeness. Sherie knew from an early age that she wanted to be an artist and took every art class she could fit into her schedule. In 1982 she enrolled in the Antonelli Institute of Art and Photography in York. While there she learned the basics of drawing, painting, color theory and design. She was active in school shows and won an honorable mention during her senior year. She graduated in 1985 with an Associate Degree in Fine Art and resided in York with her husband, Bill, and their two children until 2004. Sherie and her family now call North Carolina and the tiny town of Browns Summit home.
