There is a playful elegance to the decadent swirls and curves of Sherry Ruden’s figurative abstractions, a harmonious rhythm and lyrical flow as her sweeping linear loops reveal arching forms and the bodies of women relaxed in luxurious repose. Blending acrylic and oil paints on canvas, the artist infuses her art with a richness of hue and texture, her use of patterns and metallic sheen recalling the works of Gustav Klimt. As she paints, Sherry searches for beauty and perfection with a boundless freedom of self- expression, bringing to life the artistic dreams of her consciousness.



Born in Shanghai, China, Sherry began her studies in traditional calligraphy and scroll painting before attending the prestigious Shanghai University of Fine Art where she was inspired by Western art and culture from the Renaissance to modern masters. Sherry now lives and works in Seattle, WA where she continues to explore the limitless possibilities of her unique creative vision.
