Anna Sherman
What are your aspirations in your art form and/or career aspirations?
I want to become an Art Therapist, and also teach art in some form.
What do you do for fun? Do you have any interesting or unusual hobbies?
I'm a big reader. Once I have a book that I like, you have to pry it out of my hands. I also enjoy photography along with painting and sketching. Being blessed enough to live five minutes away from the bay, I spend a lot of time down there with a camera, paper, and watercolors.
What is something unique about you that you would like people to know?
I believe in equality. "Treat others as you would like to be treated" is mantra I was raised on and is something I strongly believe in.
The image below is called "Hazel." Anna says, "I did [it] for Day of the Dead early last October. I created it to honor a woman I was close to who passed away in February of 2011. She loved the piano and music, so I honored that in the piece."
