About the
Artist
Sheryl Lanier has combined her background in natural history
with studies in art to produce her own unique vision of the
animal world. After Sheryl completed her degree in
Environmental Studies, she worked as a Naturalist for the
U.S. Forest Service. While assisting her artist husband in
his art glass business during the winters, she discovered a
love and talent for wildlife art. This was a way to bring
wildlife into homes and hearts. Returning to college to
study art, she began developing her relief sculptures in
1986.
Born in
Alberta, Canada in 1950, Sheryl currently resides in the
beautiful area of Lake Tahoe, California. A childhood spent
moving all across the U.S. gave her an appreciation for the
wonderful diversity of our country, but the wildness of
Montana and Alaska left the strongest impressions.
"Rugged landscapes teeming with wildlife and the sounds of
nature, along with the stunning Native American arts that
permeate these areas have given me images and inspiration
for my artwork."
She continues her travels to study wildlife in their natural
habitats.
Sheryl's work
has been shown in fine galleries and shows across the U.S.,
and can be found in collections around the world.
