Welcome to Artscapist.com

Sherry Reynolds Blackard. 

 I was originally taught to paint by my grandmother, Jane Wilson Reynolds, in her home in the Wasatch mountains, outside of Park City, Utah. I went on to study art and receive a Bachelors Degree in Fine Art,  from the California College of the East Bay, Hayward, and took additional courses at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, the Mendocino Arts Center. During 1993-1995, I painted with Jerrold Turner of Contra Costa and Pam Glover of Marin County. Both made an impact on my style and use of color.
Jerrold is a founding member of "The Outsiders", a group of plein air painter's, whose colorful Fauvist style relates back to the Society of Six, the Fauves, and other colorist schools.  

I am a member of the Sierra Chapter of the California Art Club, and also a member of the Folsom Arts Association.
