Sherry Owens Windows and Maidens #6, 2019 Bronze, patina, crepe myrtle, dye, milk paint, wax 11 x 14 3/4 x 11 3/4 inches For over 30 years, sculptor Sherry Owens has used the sinewy crepe myrtle tree to tell her story of the Texas landscape, death, renewal, beauty, and of today’s growing environmental concerns. Remnants of personal stories, visions and observations in nature are the driving forces in her work. She believes that what we see and do in our daily lives leaves a mark on our planet. It is the direct impact of human activities on the natural world, which is visualized in her artistic practice. She creates connections with nature using crepe myrtle trees found along the side of the road. Each stick is hand-carved and cut to fit, then laid in place and secured with a small myrtle peg. What takes precedence in the laborious process is the importance of detail and evidence of the artist’s hand and her interaction with the materials. Sherry Owens is a native Texan, currently living and working in Dallas, TX. She received a BFA from Southern Methodist University. Recent Texas solo exhibitions include The Grace Museum; Cris Worley Fine Arts; Martin Museum of Art; Art Museum of Southeast Texas; and a two-person site-specific installation at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum. She was also included in recent exhibitions at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, TX and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, LA. She has exhibited internationally in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Greece, India, Japan, Peru, and Turkey. Her work is currently on view in the Ground Zero 360 Remembrance Exhibition at the Museum of Biblical Art...

Owens meticulously builds her unique sculptures using crepe myrtle twigs, creating densely chaotic nest-like forms that read like open drawings in space. Her dynamic works represent the beauty and fragility of the natural world, while on a deeper level explore intrinsic connections between spirituality and ecology.

She was awarded the Moss/Chumley North Texas Artist Award in 1999, named the West Texas Triangle artist in 2010 and received the Artisan Award from the AIA Dallas in 2014. Owens has exhibited nationally and internationally, and was recently featured in the exhibition entitled Texas! in Delhi, India. Her work is in numerous corporate and public collections including: JW Marriot; American Airlines; Meadows School of the Arts; the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, Honolulu; Neiman Marcus; City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs Public Art Collection; and the Texas Sculpture...
