About the Artist: Sheryl Muzzillo

​

My subject matter is an amalgam of the fleeting ideas, feelings, words, colors, and forms that twist and overlap while I perform my day-to-day actions.

 

I use traditional (acrylic, watercolor) and nontraditional (found objects, fiber) materials to express these abstract concepts, often with a bold, brilliant palette that punctuates my unspoken sentences. While navigating the three-dimensional world “sideways,” I use subtle (and unsubtle) shapes to guide viewers through my many whimsical, and often nonconformist, journeys.
