Deborah Sherman has been inspired by the study of nature, as embodied in the figure, landscape and still life; she expresses her view of life and art through what she chooses to paint, and seeks to describe what she believes is true. Her strongest efforts have been directed toward developing a unique acrylic and oil technique combining delicate yet graphic brushwork with intensive layering of color, to delineate evanescent human experience. The artist has recently completed a sequence of images of flowers and a series of representations of young women in interiors. These works combine expressive representation with subtle modulations of color and form.
