Text Box: My name is Sheri Crawford. I was born in 1963 in Hollywood, California. I stayed pretty close to home moving to the beautiful San Fernando Valley. I have a husband who is a screenwriter and two wonderful children. I also have two dogs and two cats. I often use my children ad my animals as models for my artwork.

I use all different kind of media: acrylic, oil, gouache (similar to watercolors), pen & ink, even some sculpture. I hope to be able to make a living from my artwork someday.
