Sherry is a self taught freelance photographer who has always struggled to refine her creative streak. She grew up with friends and family who played music and could be often found tagging along from coffee shop to pool hall lugging gear and giving support. The desire to compose music lead her to learn to play the piano, a feat that she feels is much like riding a bicycle. It didn't take long before she found her first real passion of oils, but during the time it took for her layers to dry she realized that digital art is a medium which she can better control. She likes to think that everybody needs an outlet and is thankful that she has found many. She is currently working with other local photographers and her loyal clients to build a business out of what she has grown to love. You can find Sherry at MorrisonLocation.com.
