My art is an expression of my experiences with the people and world around me. I like to work extemporaneously and in the abstract. Bright colors tend to excite me, as well as geometry and asymmetry. I typically work in the moment, working with paints and dyes on fabric, creating serendipitous designs.

I know one is not supposed to admit to having a favorite, but this piece might be it for me! I started collecting cardboard coffee koozie sleeves because they seemed ‘too good to throw away’. Before long, friends and family were presenting me with their collection.
This piece is composed of recycled cardboard from near and far. I cut openings, punched holes and strung colorful embroidery thread across the expanses. Each sleeve joined to another. The lengths were then attached to two wooden supports that hung from the ceiling. Additional strings laced with beads, buttons and spools of thread finished the display.

Ten Years of Flinging Paint - Sherri Lipman McCauley
Intentionally ambiguous might be a way of identifying
McCauley’s body of work. This exhibition, Ten Years of Flinging Paint,
will include artwork from 2014 to the present. The union of paints and dyes
with fabric is her forte. Using paints, dyes, fabrics and threads, the goal is
to heighten the recognition of art quilts as fine art.
See this exhibition at the Houston International Quilt Festival at the George R. Brown Convention Center, October 30-November 3, 2024. Catch Sherri’s demonstrations at Open Studios in the Embellish/Paint area on Thursday and Friday at 2pm.
'The Missing Alphabet' with Susie Monday
I was invited to show some of my pieces with Susie Monday for an exhibition of her ‘Missing Alphabet’. Susie and the work of ten artists joined together to showcase her Missing Alphabet components at the Cultural Activities Center in Temple, Texas. The alphabet includes: Shape, color, line, movement, rhythm, space, sound, light and texture.The artists include: Susie Monday, Deb Cashatt, Sue Sherman,
Laurie Brainerd, Kit Vincent, Carolyn Skei, Sherri Lipman McCauley, Heather Pregger,
Marianne Williamson, Diane Nunez and
Susan R. Michael.
The gallery is long and narrow, allowing the streamers of
color designed by Susie to find flight as they hang suspended from the ceiling.
They look great hanging down, as well as tacked up (for safety reasons).
