Items of Interest about Sheryl Sommerkamp

Sheryl's talents are not limited to the visual arts. She enjoys playing the piano and tap dancing. Sheryl points out that these are not done at the same time. As a child, Sheryl took dance lessons until she became too tall and "gangly" (her word, not mine) to continue. As an adult, she again felt the urge to dance and has been taking Tap and Jazz lessons for eleven years. She performs with other adults and finds dancing more enjoyable as an adult because it is her choice.

Many of Sheryl's abstractions and collages make use of "Yupo" a flat paintable sheet. Unlike paper, this plastic surface does not absorb the paint. She uses thinned acrylic to create flowing designs. Some resemble flowers, feathers or water. Once the paint has dried, Sheryl can use the cut out design as the inspiration for a new creation or to add depth to an existing project.

Sheryl has a collection of carved wooden angels. She was attracted to the beauty of the wood as well as the personalities of the angels.
