Sherrie York

About the Artist

Observation is the core of Sherrie’s work, whether she is making a watercolor sketch of tidbits collected on a neighborhood hike or carving a complex linocut block of pinecones and leaf litter.

“I am especially drawn to subjects that might be overlooked if I were moving too quickly through a landscape,” she explains. “Weedy tangles along a ditch or bones and feathers in a field suggest lives and stories outside my own, but connected to me in ways that aren’t always apparent.”

A self-taught relief printmaker, Sherrie enjoys employing the versatility and innate graphic qualities of linocut to celebrate the beauty of nature.
