I specialize in photography, pen & ink drawing, painting & other sorts of mischief. My subject matter is mostly nature in all its variety of color and splendor.

I vividly remember a project we had in second grade to go with our study of the ocean. We picked our favorite sea creature, drew it in crayon and then used watered down blue paint to fill in the ocean. My hammerhead shark came alive and I remember looking at it in amazement - this is the first drawing I remember. I love Harrison County with all its history and natural beauty. I have been collectin

g photos of the seasons, wildflowers, landmarks for over 15 years and am using my "visual file" as a creative source. My current artwork involves my love of photography, drawing and now painting. I combine pen and ink drawings with Photoshop to create digital paintings. 2016 marked my foray into actual painting with commissions to design and paint two large bison sculptures as part of Indiana’s Bicentennial Celebration. I painted the Bison for Harrison County and the Bison for Clark County Soil & Water District which is displayed at the Clark 4-H Fairgrounds as of 6/17/17. I enjoy designing and have made posters, programs and advertising for Hayswood Theatre and the Artisan Center in Corydon, IN, as well as photo documentation of events and shows. My work with Hayswood has led me into set design and painting and that challenged me to move from small scale art into a much larger universe. My father and grandmother were teachers and I have been able to carry on that tradition. After completing my art degree I studied art education, student teaching at Bedford-North Lawrence in their amazing art department. I have had the fortune to be a Visiting Artist at Lanesville, IN, working with David Heinke and Martha Beckort for several sessions. I very much enjoy teaching and working with students.

Well, this is a blast from the past. It has to do with a quilt project that Rudee Rodriguez had us do when I was in 8th grade. Each of us in class were to design and execute a quilt block.

In 1987 Rudee was putting together a book on the project. What she had done was take our individual blocks and make full quilts from each of them. They were beautiful. As part of the book project, she had gotten the ok to have a depiction of the original blocks on the cover of one of our area phone books. She asked me to do the drawing.

A couple of weeks ago Kim Harmon contacted me and said she had one of my drawings (?)! Since 1997 (or thereabouts) it has been hanging in her office at the Community Foundation.

At first I could not figure out what the drawing was of. From that time period there are very few originals I let out of my grasp. I finally remembered the quilts and the phone book cover drawing. After 39 years of separation, my drawing and I have been reunited.

UPDATE: Gloria Schotter has the think like Sheryl vibe!
Bonus game: which is the quilt block I designed?
