About the Artist

SHERRY BALL SCHOENFELDT

Sherry began her foray into arts and crafts at a very young age by designing clothing (can't seem to find those old sketches so we'll never know where that skill could have taken her, lol).   Around age twelve, she took her first charcoal class and not much later began working in oils.
 
Somehow, she ended up spending a long, long time as an accountant.  Then she woke up and decided to pursue her true passion:  making stuff!!  Thus, Studio Pashnada was born in Dallas in 1999.  Now located in the Oklahoma City area, Sherry spends her spare time creating with fabric, fibers, paper, glass, trims, found objects and anything else at her fingertips.
 
Sherry comes from an artistic family, married an architect, Patrick, and her two children are talented too.   Her mother, Uni, loves to knit and crochet (Uniques by Uni).  Her son, Nate, creates abstract spray paint art and her daughter, Dani, scrapbooks and makes mono-chromatic collages.
 
Sherry has had her artwork as well as a couple of articles published in Stampington publications and is hoping to do so again.  Her art can sometimes be seen in local shows.   She also founded a local art group, The Ephemerites, which meets monthly.
