Essays

Having worked with wire mesh, wood, plaster and canvas, Sherry Grauer is a mixed-media artist known for her paintings, relief paintings and sculptures; and she moves seamlessly between these mediums, often working on numerous projects concurrently. Her work is shaped by both the natural world of the West Coast and the art and urban life of San Francisco and Vancouver.

“I don’t think there is such a thing as abstract painting. Whatever mark the artist makes has a reference. And the observer brings their own references to the work.”
