About sherry

Statement

I have a passion for art and design in many forms and have worked in various mediums, although I most enjoy printmaking and painting. I simplify the subject matter and look for stories the objects may tell. If it is an old car, the viewer may wonder who the owner(s) might have been and where that car may have taken them. An antique washing machine may remind someone of their grandma or conversations, and feelings from bygone days.

Life and art are not separate. Artists incorporate their experiences into their pieces, and viewers do this as well. The same image can have different meanings to different individuals or appeal to some and not others. Art is very subjective, and that is also what makes it very interesting and discussions of art engaging.

For me, this will never grow old. I look forward to creating every day with the ongoing process of sharing stories and listening to others as they share theirs. Each of us has our unique life journey and experience. An artist is fortunate to be able to share that through their art.

Biography

After receiving her art degree from Iowa State University, Rauch lived in the Midwest and California, ultimately settling with her family in Utah in 2005. She currently resides in Bountiful.

Rauch works in multiple mediums involving printmaking or painting,—sometimes combining both. Etching has been her most recent medium. She says, “There is something about the simplicity of lines in etchings. Even one line can make a great etching.” and “Every etching is unique, even when made from the same plate. I find joy whenever I reveal a new print for an edition.”
