Fine Art by Sheryl Unwin - Pet Portrait Artist - North Port, FL - Nationwide

Sheryl Unwin is originally from Massachusetts and grew up in a beautiful town 30 miles north of Boston, now living in North Port, Florida, her interest in the arts started at a very young age, and by the time she was 13 and a freshman at Billerica Memorial High School she decided that being an artist was going to be her career of choice. She had some wonderful mentors in High School who have always encouraged her creative side and in her senior year was voted most artistic in her yearbook and she has been Illustrating portraits of various subjects for well over 25 years.

Sheryl attended the Art Institute of Boston in 1984 and studied Illustration with a minor in Graphic Design, hoping to become a successful Magazine Illustrator back then, her artistic path took her down the road of printing and mechanical drawing for a while. Sheryl worked at various printing companies from 1984 to 1997. Even though her path as an artist seemed to change to graphic design it has never stopped her passion to draw and illustrate the subjects that she loved to concentrate on which are people, wildlife and pets

Today her passion for animals and nature has taken her to create color and graphite pencil drawings and scratch boards of some of her most favorite subjects. Sheryl will draw from the largest of wildlife creatures to the smallest of domestic pets. This has become her passion and interest of choice but Sheryl still loves to do Portraits of people as well.
