The Artist
Originally from the USA, Sheryl has lived in Amsterdam, London and Switzerland.
Having a creative talent and curiosity at a very young age , she studied classical ballet for many years.
However, her formal education led her down a more traditional path and she received a BBA in finance with
honors. She received an internship with the AMRO Bank in Amsterdam upon graduating. This was followed by a career in London in corporate finance.
Not satisfied, she changed course and became specialized in communications as the Head of Investor Relations for Glaxo, a multinational pharma company.
When she moved to Switzerland she worked as a consultant and co-founded an IR consultancy. Being the mother of two young children she decided to pursue philanthropy, co-founding a ballet school and youth company, a global non-profit for animals, Global Comfort FAB, as well as becoming involved in many non-profits.
Her art and themes follow her lifestyle and dreams, believing that art transcends language, culture and values.
A variety of styles, acrylic, watercolor, sketches, she believes that one’s creative instinct is as important as one’s business sense.
She has an international client base, including the USA, Switzerland, the UK and the Netherlands.
The World is My Canvas
My belief is that we transcend culture through many things, art, music, dance as well as other activities.
Our lives are all very different. We have different languages, customs, cultures and values. We are complex, rushed, constantly striving to reach our objectives.
But the beauty of our world is shared by all.
My art, be it a landscape, person, animal or abstract, aims to achieve a unity between people of all nations.
