Sherry was born and raised in California. She and her husband Ron retired from the San Diego Fire Department in 2001 and relocated to Green Valley, Arizona. Surrounded by the picturesque Sonoran desert, Sherry was inspired to take on a challenging new medium, watercolor, and began to capture desert scences in original paintings and as reproductions on greeting cards.
