Though Sheryl Dawson Sauer began her life in Delaware, spent time in  the District of Columbia attending college and working, lived in Texas for 20 years raising children and working, her life didn’t really begin until 1997 when she moved to Southern California and began the journey for which she always knew she was destined.  With the perfect California setting of mountains, ocean, palm trees and brilliant flowers, Sheryl’s desire to become an artist flourished.  “From the time I was 11, sunsets always triggered an amazing emotion in me.  Year after year the desire to interpret my Creator’s masterpieces grew stronger.”   After moving to California Sheryl enrolled in a watercolor class taught by a former instructor at Pratt Institute in New York, and Sheryl’s destiny began to take form. During the next several years, Sheryl participated in many art workshops conducted by renowned local and national artists, and traveled throughout the U.S., Mexico and Europe for painting expeditions. 

Sheryl enjoys creating in her studio and plein air, and has a passion for painting diverse subject matter, including abstracts.  “I love painting with transparent watercolors, but also enjoy the bold capabilities of acrylic paint on paper and canvas.”

Sheryl is a member of several art associations, has had her artwork  accepted into numerous juried shows for which she has received a number of awards and she is currently represented by the Cove Gallery in Laguna Beach, CA.   Her artwork has been purchased by clients nationwide, and has pieces hanging in corporate offices in Southern California, D.C., Ohio and Florida.

“I am inspired by everything I see.  That’s why I have such difficulty staying with a limited scope of subjects, and I love painting in a variety of styles.  I trust that I’m around for many more years because I have a lot of exploring and painting yet to do.  Robert Frost best expressed my motto when he wrote ‘. . . and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep.’ “
