About the artist
Sheri
Ross, MD began her painting career as a youth in Michigan. She
continued her training as an undergraduate at Stanford University,
studying drawing, painting and printmaking. Sheri graduated from
Stanford with distinction receiving a BA in Human Biology. She put
her art career on hold to study medicine at Michigan State University
and completed a residency in Pediatrics at Northwestern University-
Children's Memorial Hospital.
Sheri co-founded a pediatric practice on the North Shore (Lake Shore Pediatrics) which has thrived for the past 24 years with offices in Lake Forest, Libertyville, and Barrington Illinois. After a long hiatus from the art world, during which time she also raised two daughters, Sheri returned to the canvas.
"My work is based on photos that I have taken over the years...photos of friends, family and especially strangers who struck me as interesting and beautiful as they pursued their everyday lives. I have tried to capture a moment in time- of activity, of pleasure, of movement- expressing the joy in all of us with vibrant colors and form, blending the abstract with the actual, to create a visual picture of the human spirit."
