Sherina
(A.K.A. Sheriann K Burnham)
A visual artist and designer, Sheri Burnham grew up in an artistic household where she was taught drawing and painting by her mother – a fine and commercial artist – from an early age. Sheri also realized at an early age the importance of respecting and caring for our natural resources. Growing up on the coastal beaches of Southern California, she was deeply influenced by the first Earth Day and the environmental movement of the 1970’s. Throughout her dual career as both a fine artist and designer, Sheri has always strived to employ economically resourceful practices resulting in her sustainable values for life and work. In art, she blends high tech with traditional art media and methods, currently creating mixed media works that UPcycle natural found objects with hand and digitally made elements. In design, Sheri is a creative visual thinker, who believes in re-shaping design complexities into clear visual solutions. You can learn more about Sheri’s art and design at studiokisun.com.
