About the Artist
Artist Sherri Aldawood paints from memory and experiences, capturing moments to forge a deeper connection with a place or a person. She portrays her subjects through delicate brushwork and a strong connection to how sunlight falls on them. "Observing and painting from life is crucial to my creative process, as my job is to edit and expand on the world as I see and offer my unique perspective," says Sherri. Her artwork centers around floral and feminine themes, often combining both in one composition. She draws inspiration from on-location insights and photographs, utilizing fundamental artistic elements to express her emotional connection to each piece. Her home studio provides a functional space where she listens to music while creating art. In her spare time, Sherri attends to family matters and engages in daily activities like cooking and housework.

A gentle touch, a delicate figure, a woman glows under a warm dappled ray of sunlight. "I especially enjoyed painting all of the beautiful colors in this scene," artist Sherri Aldawood says about capturing her model Alana, posing in a garden one spring morning.
About the Artist
Sherri Aldawood didn't intend to always paint flowers, but over time her love of gardens started to permeate her art. She focuses on the light and color of the flowers on the canvas. Sherri prefers alla prima, working with wet layers of paint instead of letting them dry. She keeps the paint as wet as possible by using walnut and clove oil to extend the drying time.

Sherri posed her model, Bridget, in her backyard garden just as the sun was setting to capture the dramatic backlighting. Golden light silhouettes the figure and works with the shaded areas to build three dimensionality. A timeless and gentle portrait in the warm Arizona light.

A fountain flows in the center of an elegant garden in artist Sherri Aldawood's impressionist piece. "My dream came true when I visited the home and garden of one of my favorite artists of the past, Joaquin Sorolla, in Madrid," shares Sherri. Channeling her knowledge from studying Sorolla's masterful paintings, Sherri portrays the morning light and colors with soft illumination. The sunlit foliage gleams majestically in the background, sharpening the dimension and bringing the viewer's eye toward the rear of the scene.
