Sherry makes acrylic, functional, eco resin and mixed media art. She combines pouring, paint, gold leaf and more in one piece. Take a look around, and if something catches your eye, ask about it.
Hi, I'm Sherry. I live and paint in Villa Grove, Illinois, and I thrive on using vibrant color, so hand me orange, turquoise and phthalo green. I started making art in the early 70s with folk art, wood burning and brush work, and acrylic pouring didn't come along until around 2018. The two pieces I'm proudest of now are the guitar and the purple wine coaster set. And as you look around you'll notice a pig, my art director. I love pigs, and he's a play on pigment, so he got the job.

Acrylic paint pouring
Paint poured, tilted and set loose.
In acrylic paint pouring, also called fluid art, thinned acrylic paint is poured onto a surface and tilted so the colors run into each other. Where they meet they can form ribbons, rings and small cells.

Functional art
Art that is also an object.
Functional art is art in the form of an object, such as a clock, a box or a board, rather than a picture for the wall.

Eco resin
Mineral-based, with a porcelain-like finish.
What is eco resin?
Eco resin is a non-toxic, mineral-based pouring compound. There is no resin in it. It comes out with a porcelain-like finish that can be painted on the outside or have color added all the way through. The one Sherry uses is called ResinCrete.

What is an aroma stone?
Aroma stones are diffusers. You add your own essential oil to the surface of the piece, and it slowly releases the aroma.

Mixed media
Pouring, paint, gold leaf and more, all in one piece.
Mixed media means more than one material or technique combined in a single piece: a pour with painted detail on top, for example.

Ask about this piece - Guitar with Dogs and Music NotesAcrylic pour with hot glue outlines, eco resin hearts and gold leaf paintPrice $150

A small dog leans on the shoulder of the guitar and another is at its lower edge, a dragonfly sits in the sound hole, and gold-colored music notes with heart-shaped heads float around it. Signed in the lower right corner.
How I made it
I started with an acrylic pour for the background, in about ten vivid colors, using a swipe technique. I drew the dogs, the outlines and the guitar in hot glue, and outlined a pattern of flowers inside the guitar the same way. I painted the dogs. I poured small hearts in eco resin and painted them with gold leaf paint. I painted the outside of the guitar in three coats of one solid color of acrylic paint, then attached the hearts. I drew the music notes and their stems in hot glue. The base coat took five days to dry, and each layer took that long. With all the painting and drying, it took a month.

About Sherry
Pouring came late for me, because I tried so many other things first. I sold a lot of the folk art I started with through the 70s and 80s, and then I moved on to oil landscapes, taking lessons along the way from several artists in Brown County, Indiana, and from a rosemaling instructor. From oils I went to faux stained glass in Indianapolis, where I lived and sold my work.
Then I had an accident, and with that time at home I studied acrylic pouring. Somewhere in all of that there was also a duck decoy I painted, and it was the first piece I didn't want to give away.
These days pouring, paint and gold leaf can all end up in one piece. I use gold leaf because it adds shine, class and elegance, and texture as well, and I make my own paint with pigment, which is one more reason the pig is here. Pigs are cute animals, too, and a pig reflects the rural area I paint in.
