We're Moving!
Well, this is it.
It’s been an incredible 8 years here. So incredible in fact, that I am having a hard time sitting down to actually write this post. It’s not that I don’t want to leave; I know our path will always take us back to the north - but I am so grateful for having been here that I can’t help but be a little sad. Sure the traffic can be obnoxious, and the muggy, sweaty summer heat can certainly take some getting used to, but Miami has been and will always be a city of vibrancy and inspiration. I’ve made some friendships here that I will mourn when we drive away, and not just with people. (Though I will, and you know who you are!) The ocean was a constant companion to me. Visible from my studio window, I learned it’s colors and movement; it’s moods. My nightly running path took me along the coast, or down the bay and I grew to love the salt sting of the sea water mid-run. I know I will find other paths and trails, but nothing will replace the thrill of running with the waves.
I’ve shut all my shops down until January 2nd, I’m hoping that will allow me to unpack and organize before the new year. If there is a piece you’d like to place on hold in the meantime, simply send me an email and I’ll do my best to get back to you ASAP.
Otherwise, if you have any suggestions for successful cross-country moves I am all ears. The last time I did this was after college and I had a total of 3 tupperware tubs, so I am feeling all sorts of out of my element here!
I’ll check in occasionally via Instagram during the move, and can’t wait to get everything settled into our new home in Michigan.
Thanks for joining me for this part of the journey, here’s to the next chapters!

A Sunday Pop-up!
I was over at West Elm at the Midtown shops on Sunday (11/6) and it was a blast! Aside from meeting old/new customers (which I love) I also did a bit of sketching, answered some fun questions on snapchat and brainstormed with a few potential clients on custom pieces.
Also I love poking around West Elm, it's SUCH a beautiful store. It was hard not to turn around and spend the money made on the sale on items in the store... but alas, I have canvases to buy ;)
Hand Made Pop-Up Shop!
Super excited to share that I'll be selling 5 new limited edition prints via the Hand Made Pop-Up this year, November 4th - 6th!
The 8.5 x 11 inch prints are all part of my Lesser Moons of Jupiter series, each abstract work inspired by some of the smaller celestial bodies orbiting the planet.
Adrastea, Amalthea, Thebe, Himalia and Lysithea will be available for purchase starting the 4th via the Handmade Pop-Up site.
Here's a little sneak peek until then :
EH Sherman Art at Bend and Breathe Yoga
This past weekend I was so honored to have my art be a part of Bend and Breathe Yoga's Grand Opening night in Hollywood, FL.
The studio itself is a beautiful space, (with a floor to DIE for!) and is just so inviting and inherently peaceful, it's impossible not to feel a wash of calm when stepping inside.
I'll have three original watercolors on display through the week, but the prints will hang out in the front of the shop for the duration of the winter. If you find yourself in the Hollywood area, pop over to the studio for a class and pickup some art!

Perspectiv at Macaya Gallery
Saturday night at Perspectiv, held at the Macaya Gallery here in Miami was a blast.
I was showing 5 new pieces, 4 made specifically for the show and my theme : Rising Tides.
(Works from left to right; Tempest 20 x 24, Tidal I 30 x 40, Convergence 18 x 24, Mellipulli 20 x 24, Tidal II 30 x 40)
It was a great crowd of 250-300ish, and I was so happy to be able to speak with so many about my work. I loved hearing what they saw in the colors, where their eyes went through the pieces and how the work effected them. Sorta like laying on a hill and looking up at the clouds.
The music was fantastic, the food was excellent and the whole vibe of the show had such a creative, collaborative energy, it was impossible not to feel inspired.
Thanks to everyone who came out, it was a truly magnificent evening!
