Sheri Lynn Boyer Doty - Biography 2007Sheri Doty received a B F A degree in 1972 from the University of Utah with a painting and drawing emphasis. Having experimented with non-representational styles during her student years, Sheri preferred classic realism as thought by professor Alvin Gittins. He and the professors under whom she studied, emphasized strong drawing and painting skills. Sheri’s paintings have earned her awards in regional, national and international art exhibitions and invitational shows including purchase awards and permanent museum acquisitions. Sanford Corporation, formerly known as Berol USA., used her artwork to showcase its PRISMACOLOR colored pencil product line internationally for over 25 years. Sheri is a signature member of the Colored Pencil Society of America [C.P.S.A.]. Sheri’s artwork has been published in numerous books including The Encyclopedia of Colored Pencil Techniques by Quarto Publishing, London England; Most of The Best of Colored Pencil series by Rockport Publishers, Creative Colored Pencil Techniques by Rockport Publishers, Creative Colored Pencil Portraits by Rockport Publishers and The Best of Portrait Painting by North Light Books. Sheri’s artwork is also published on book covers, in newspapers, periodicals, and exhibit catalogues. Sheri is now listed with Portfolios.com and Art_Exchange.com Web sales offering over 45 listings. People have been known to say, “She possesses a unique ability to paint the breath of life into her subjects - a gifted talent.” Because Sheri expresses not only the likeness of her clients but also their lifestyle, her portraits are in high demand. Sheri has also illustrated book covers, magazines and has prints and greeting cards on the market. Sheri Says:
“The art professors under whom I studied had us draw and paint from live models and “open air” studies, not from photographs.
To truly see and paint a subject, I need to see it from all angles. The human eye sees so much more than what is pictured in a photograph.
I am glad of the rich ridged training I received from my teachers. I have married the use of photography and live studies to create my paintings.
I take my own photographs as resource material employing a variety of ways to recreate what the human eye sees. My paintings are not exact
reproductions, but an interpretation of life from my view as an artist.”
“Thirty years of study and experience in this field has taught me that talent isn’t the reason for success in any endeavor.
The keys to success are desire, perseverance and determination. But most of all, I depend on Father in Heaven’s influence. When I pray about what I paint,
I can feel His help and guidance.”
