PARLOR ARTIST - Sherry Waters

Sherry Waters was born and raised in Wichita, KS, and fell in love with art at an early age.  She lived in College Hill and her mother, who worked, wanted to make sure Sherry kept busy so art was one of the many opportunities she got to experience.

Sherry graduated from Wichita State University and in 1990 began painting under the direction of Kandy Tage.  It was through that experience that her love for art and God's creation came together.  "The Heaven's Declare the Glory of God" and it was her intense desire to be able to put her talents and appreciation for what she saw into her work.

Sherry has always loved color and in the summer of 1998 she traveled to El Dorado to work under the direction of Marilyn Grisham and learned the art of fiber collage.  This expereince has taken her into different directions and along with that she began to quilt.

Her carreer has been in teaching on the middle school level and college.  Sherry says, "This has been the best of all possible ways to spend my life; teaching stuendts the love of art and the opportunity to problem solve and create as well."  Sherry retired this past May and now get to create more on her own and enjoy her growing family.
