Meet Your BOMH Board: Sherry Haney

Name: Sherry Haney

Role on the Board: Board Member (Visiting Artists Committee Chair)

Joined the board when: 2017

Why you joined board/goals you hope to accomplish? This organization does a lot to help artists all over the state, including me. I wanted to give back.

Other organizations you are a part of? SW MO Art & Craft Guild, Greater St Louis Art Assn, Branson Arts Council, Springfield Regional Arts Council, Springfield Creatives, Visual Artists Alliance, Springfield Contractors Assn, Forum

Hobbies other than the actual art you create: Woodworking stuff. I started making my own frames for my art, then made some custom display boxes, then…then the working with wood bug bit me and I love it.

If an artist, your medium: 2D Painting. Oil mostly

Brief description of your work: I paint to be creative, totally losing myself in the art as I paint, in the story it’s telling and how it connects with the viewer. I chose my focal point and let the story evolve. My musical art inspires people to play and my romantic paintings spark their desire to hug or kiss their partner. I see them look at my art and make their own stories.
