  • A native of Portland, OR, Sherrie Wolf received her BFA in 1974 from Pacific Northwest College of Art in printmaking and then furthered her studies at the Chelsea College of Art in London where she received her MA degree. During her time at PNCA she studied etching and worked in this medium through the 80's. She had a brief tenure of teaching at PNCA through 1986. Since the late 80's, the focus of Sherrie Wolf's art has been painting and drawing. Many local and national corporations as well as many private collectors have collected her rich, elegant super realistic works on canvas and paper. (Oregon Arts Commission, 1995)

Biographical Information
  • Looking back at my development I feel I have come full circle with my initial interest in images of still life to create my own form of artistic creation. I have consistently searched for a psychological edge or emotional meaning in these images. I find enormous force from familiar objects that trigger personal reminiscence on a conscious and unconscious level. My arrangements of objects are extremely contrived in a desire for aesthetic quality and emotional charge, which can be heightened by the association of seemingly disconnected objects juxtaposed. A quote from Gaston Bachelard states my sentiments well, "Representation becomes nothing but a body of expression with which to communicate our own images to others. Ultimately they are best comprehended as artifacts of a personal reminiscence and like a Proustian sweet, each has the potential to open a door onto another person's reflections and half forgotten memories."
