About Sheri Morris: Sheri’s paintings, nearly all oil, are primarily inspired by the majestic beauty of the Verde Valley and other northern Arizona locations. Raised by parents who were lovers of art, music, and books Sheri's creativity was encouraged from early childhood. And, growing up in a time when idleness was discouraged, Sheri learned to enjoy being busy and love learning. She started making her own clothes in fifth grade eventually learning the art of dying fabrics and delving into batik as an art form.
Sheri was a juried member of the Arizona Designer Craftsman Guild for many years and loved the competitions. After retirement, pastels grew to be her favorite medium, and she became a juried member of the Arizona Pastel Society. She moved from pastels to oils several years ago, going back to a favorite medium from her college days. The Verde Valley is now her greatest inspiration and the topic of most of her paintings. Sheri’s awe-inspiring paintings have won Best of Show at the Fountain Hills Art Show, Glendale Art Fair, Mohave Art Fair, Verde Valley Art Fair, and the Havasu Art Exhibition. One of her paintings of the Verde River was selected for inclusion in the Smithsonian Waterways Exhibit sponsored by Yavapai College.
