Sheryl is an emerging nature photographer, focused on landscapes, wildlife, and flowers of all types. All work is photographically based.  Depending upon her artistic vision for an image the photo may be enhanced with digital darkroom technologies.  Some favorite techniques include shallow depth of field, selective focus, the addition of painterly effects/elements, infrared photography, and intentional camera movement (ICM).  All prints are available in a range of sizes on 4 media types—satin fine art paper, canvas, metal, and acrylic. 

After a long career in the information technology industry, Sheryl originally planned a second career in interior architecture and design, earning a certificate in Interior Architecture at UCLA.  Her studies increased her understanding of color, elements of design, and art history which have been beneficial to her work as a nature photographic artist.  

Sheryl regularly participates in a variety of online and in-person education.  She belongs to several professional organizations including Professional Photographers of America, Professional Photographers of California, Los Angeles Center for Photography and North American Nature Photography Association.  Sheryl has recently begun entering her work in competitions, exhibitions and publications.  Awards and recognition for Sheryl's work have been received from several organizations, including:
