Daily Reporter: How did you get interested in art?
Sheri Jones: I’ve always loved all sorts of types of art. Drawing, building things, and creating all things new. My love probably started when I was real little and loved to draw and color on my bedroom walls. My mom wasn’t too excited about that!
DR: What is your favorite type of art, and why?
SJ: My favorite type of art changes. When I applied to Herron School of Art it was because of my love for drawing, but then the more woodworking and sculpture classes I took I loved those 3D arts. Since I’ve had the studio I’ve really enjoyed painting.
DR: Tell us about your business.
SJ: We offer adult and kids parties, kids classes and art camps and also piano lessons.
DR: What do you enjoy most about the studio?
SJ: What I love about having an art studio is having the freedom to try anything I want and share that with others. I get to create for a living. I feel like it doesn’t get better than that!
