Artist Biography: Sherry Sullivan described herself as "an abstract artist always with some subject matter." She has created art since her childhood in Chicago and studied art at Northwestern University, Marycrest College, and the Art Institute of Chicago. Her Stations of the Cross series comprised 14 paintings painted more than 50 years ago. She completed the project as part of a three-member artists' coalition affiliated with St. Mary Church in Park Forest, Ill. The paintings remained at the church until 2010 when Sullivan learned the building was being remodeled, and the art had been taken down to make room for new pieces. With help from her children, she had the paintings moved to Houston so she could begin cleaning and restoring them. Sullivan died in May of 2017. less
