Christy Sherman is a wildlife artist who paints in pastel and also sculpts in relief sculpture and jewelry.

Her sculptures are highly tactile, with the marks of the maker clearly visible, and that feel carried in to her paintings later on.

With sculpting you layer clay and build up a form. With pastels, you layer color and create shadows and light.

Her work has been featured in juried art shows, magazine ads and catalogs, and bead and clay magazines.
