Sherry Byrd Featured in “Voyage Houston Magazine”

August 6, 2019 – Houston: Voyage Houston Magazine, in its “Houston’s Most Inspiring Stories” section, features Sherry Byrd as one of “West Loop’s Rising Stars.”

Here in Houston we enjoy one of the most culturally diverse communities in the United States. That is a real plus for an artist. Whether it’s music, dining, theater, visual arts or science and technology, Houston offers it. There’s never a dull moment.

If there was something I’d change about this place, I’d have to say the traffic, the heat, and the flooding which seems to happen on almost a yearly basis. Also, we have some of the biggest cockroaches I’ve ever seen; and I’ve seen some big ones.

Sherry Byrd calls her style “Joyful Color.” Working primarily in acrylics on canvas, Sherry employs bright colors which elicit comments from “joyous expressions of love,” “exhilarating,” “stunning,” to “spectacular.” Retired after a forty-five year career in higher education at universities in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas, Sherry studied, by invitation, under award-winning painter and Director of Painting Art at Houston Baptist University, Michael Collins. Sherry curates the Fra Angelico Gallery at Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church in Houston, and her work as been featured in religious publications in the US and in Canada.

Sherry will have a solo exhibition at Sean Anthony Salons, 3300 Chimney Rock, August 12 – September 9.
