enjoyment of painting. Sheryl is a member of

She lives in Florida, after spending many years visiting longtime

Out of the water she enjoys traveling around Florida taking
pictures of Florida’s wildlife. She has also traveled up and
down both the east and west coasts finding more inspiration

inspiration for her paintings. Her paintings can be seen in
