The ART of traveling.......makes memories last!
Sherry Marger
Painting is a Passion, Art is the Reward......
destination (ˌdestəˈnā sh ən) noun:
the place to which someone or something is going or being sent.....
My destination or destiny was to become an artist.
I am an acrylic landscape painter, born in New York City, but raised in New Jersey. As a youngster, never having been to an airport or on an airplane, little did I suspect that in the future, I would be able to fly to far off places of more interest and experience firsthand the astounding beauty that awaited me. After graduating from a teacher’s college with a BA degree in Art Education, I had a brief Junior High School teaching career. While raising a family, I was able to fortify my skills but my basic abilities for representational artwork developed over the years by teaching others and observing the artists around me.
It wasn’t until much later in life, when I started traveling that I began to paint more seriously. I had always photographed, catalogued and then assembled albums of trips, but realized how painting could extend my traveling world experiences not only to myself but to others. Traveling became my inspiration. "Destination Art" has become my passion.
I am primarily a studio artist who paints with acrylic from my own photos that I’ve taken on various trips. I will do plein air watercolor sketching on location to lay the groundwork for the finished paintings in my studio. I like the stability of this medium and the technique that I am able to achieve using them.
My paintings have been exhibited and awarded many ribbons in shows but I continue to emerge and grow and discover new places to paint, and have realized that one need not go far to find interesting locations.
