Item Description
Limited edition print, 12” X 18.”
My name is Sheryl Yeager, I have Autism and have been making art for over 15 years. As I child I came from a dysfunctional home life and was abused. When I was in my early thirties I was enlightened to take an art class at Western Pysch in Pittsburgh. I found it gave great meaning to my life. I worked in many different mediums until I found pastels. They appealed to me because of their bright colors. After practice, I gained control of the material. Art for me has taken away the emotional pain of my childhood and allows me to cope with everyday stresses.
Art has allowed me to be one with God and nature, so I can express myself freely. I make animals because they are not judgmental. They are humble and meek. I extract and enhance patterns and colors when I work. I love the texture of the material and the control I have working with pastels. Making art gives me purpose and self worth. It keeps me happy, peaceful and calm. Art is something I love. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed making them.
Sheryl is repped by the Arts Unbound Gallery, dedicated to the artistic achievement of people living with disabilities and to the continuing artistic enrichment of seniors. They provide visual arts education and professional development to help emerging artists compete on the retail market. By promoting the work of artists with disabilities and seniors, they center their art-making rather than any impairments and by doing so challenge the stigma associated with disability and aging.
