About
Sherry Been's world is a crucible of artistry and alchemy. From her Manhattan studio, she breathes life into metal, transforming it into vibrant sculptures through the ancient art of enameling. Molten glass, born at 1500 degrees, bleeds vibrant hues onto sculpted copper, each wrinkle whispering a story of strength.
Beyond mere beauty, Sherry's work is a defiant dance between fire and form. Each piece emerges from a multi-layered tango of artistry and chemistry. As molten glass meets metal, vibrant rivers of color erupt, each a unique signature of the fiery collaboration.
Empowerment Through Art
Beyond the aesthetic, Sherry's art carries a deeper purpose. Inspired by the "YOU MATTER" message, she strives to elevate self-worth in marginalized individuals and communities. Each piece becomes a beacon of love and empowerment, radiating acceptance and strength.
