Sherrie St. James

My search is formed by an awareness that life is a mix of the endangered and the divine. I love these extremes but am also drawn to the gradations between...where most of life is lived.

I capture visions that vibrate with color and the true breath of life that resonates with the viewer and reveals the vulnerability and sensuality of nature in it's truest form.

I'm a 4th generation Native Floridian, and have been an artist all my life, and an Underwater Photographer for over a decade. My photographs have been on display at the Florida Aquarium for over 8 years, and have sold worldwide. I paint, sculpt, work with stained glass, metal and wood...I'm an artist of many medias.

I began creating metal sculptures (Industrial Art), and painting folk art style tiki bar signs and doing shows with my mother and sister, late in 2007... to take my mind off my father's illness. My metal work has become very popular and I have been commissioned to do several pieces for private collectors.

My beloved father passed in November 2007, but his love of nature, the sea, and his artistic brilliance...
shine on in me.
