Sherrie Spencer has been producing many different works of art nearly her entire life. Transforming thoughts and images into tangible creations has been a passion for her since the beginning, and it was borne of necessity.

At the age of five, Sherrie suffered a major stroke. With the entire right side of her body disabled and her right arm completely paralyzed, her life had changed dramatically in an instant.

Since her speech was severely impaired, Sherrie began to draw in an effort to communicate her thoughts and needs to those around her. Her first artistic effort was a drawing of a horse (what little girl's life would be complete without one?).

Because her mother could not at first identify what she was trying to draw, Sherrie knew she had to sharpen her skills in an effort to perfect her craft. The level of detail and the lifelike imagery evident in her work is testimony to this goal having been accomplished.
