Watercolors by Sheri A. Woodard

The inspiration for my watercolors come from glowing light. The impact of this glow is heighten by dark rich deep areas that I see and paint to capture the viewer's eye. This contrast reaches a brillance in which colors seem to melt and flow together in. When creating a painting I wish to express a peaceful, yet amazing moment when flowers shimmer and shadows beckon. I began my watercolor career with a Bachelor's Degree in Art Education. I started teaching, and still continue, at Jenison Public Schools in Michigan. I find teaching art to be rewarding, demanding, and extremely enjoyable. While teaching I took classes at nearby Universities in watercolors. This launched my love of painting. I also completed a Master's Degree in Gifted and Talented Education. Through these studies I learned to present my love of art to my students in a more creative and exciting way. My work has been shown in many galleries and interior design stores. I have participated in many art competitions including the West Michigan Regional Competition and area festival competitions. Many of my paintings have won awards. Many of my works are on display at the Gallery Uptown in Grand Haven, Michigan. I invite anyone interested to see my work at this gallery or contact me at my studio. I hope my paintings show the beauty of everyday life. I believe that God has created an incredible world where we can see light-filled flowers and flowing, peaceful landscapes. I offer you a glimpse of my inspirations and hope you can appreciate the everyday moments of joy that I find so enlightening.
