Sherry Vintson is an award-winning illustrator who, after two decades of a successful career as a commercial artist, shifted her artistic focus to what she finds most meaningful: wildlife art. Growing up in a small fishing village along the Florida Gulf Coast, Sherry was immersed in marine life. This early exposure fostered a deep respect and appreciation for the natural world that has only grown over time. While she has enjoyed living and working in both picturesque mountain regions and bustling metropolitan areas, Sherry finds a unique quality in the sea air and sun. It is the bright, soft coastal light, reminiscent of her childhood, that ultimately drew her back to her roots.
