Sandstone Gallery is pleased to announce the feature of a large collection of still life paintings by guest artist SHERRY POLLACK WALKER in our Skylight Room, running for two months, November 2 through December 28.
Sherry is based in Newport Beach, California, and Rossland, British Columbia. Raised in New York City, she began her formal art education at the Brooklyn Museum, studying under Ron Mehlman, and went on to earn a BFA from the Boston University School of Fine Arts.
Following her fine arts training, Sherry built a distinguished career in advertising, rising to senior vice president and creative director at international agencies. Her work included high-profile global clients such as Jaguar, BMW, Ford, Lincoln/Mercury, and Sony. At Young & Rubicam, she helped lead a notable partnership between Lincoln and Vanity Fair, designing custom inserts for the magazine’s Hollywood issues.
After decades in advertising, Sherry returned fully to painting, reconnecting with her foundation in observation, drawing, and sustained looking. Her practice emphasizes patience and concentration, resisting generalization in favor of nuanced perception. She is particularly interested in color, shape, light, space, and brushstroke as formal problems explored through careful adjustment.
