Sher-ron Freeman

Born 1966, Oakland, California
Has practiced at Creative Growth since 1988

Sher-ron Freeman is a talented multimedia artist and painter. Her use of vibrant hues and layered compositions are a common theme in her work and she often looks to wildlife, whether that is animals, flowers, or foliage, as inspiration for her brightly colored pieces. Her drawings and paintings have a dynamic energy found in abstract expressionism and action painting, though Freeman is steady and careful to execute her work. When creating original fashion pieces, pillows, or wall hangings, she utilizes a grab-bag of small textural materials including sequins, paper, lace, and beads.
