About Artist

Basic Information

  • Artist Statement

    The allure of using sustainable materials, many found in their natural habitat, has been my muse. Attending13 different schools around the country as a young person the one thing that was a constant in my life was nature. My journey has made me keenly aware that the world needs more people who are kinder and gentler to the earth.

    Foraging for materials while trekking through mangroves or trudging through heaths searching for that extraordinary find that speaks of authenticity and sustainability continues to nourish my soul. This connection to nature keeps me intrigued with processes that are akin to alchemy. In my world, “Magic is afoot”! -Sherry Tamburo
