Sherrie Wolf; Poet's Library; etching ed. 75; 18 x 24 inches A native of Portland, OR, Sherrie Wolf received her BFA in 1974 from Pacific Northwest College of Art in printmaking and then furthered her studies at the Chelsea College of Art in London where she received her MA degree. During her time at PNCA she studied etching and worked in this medium through the 80's. She had a brief tenure of teaching at PNCA through 1986. Since the late 80"s, the focus of Sherrie Wolf's art has been painting and drawing. Many local and national corporations as well as many private collectors have collected her rich, elegant superrealistic works on canvas and paper.

- Biographical Information
- This print, Poet's Library, was done from a drawing I did at Carol and Mike Riley's home in Warrington, Oregon. Carol Riley is an artist (painter), and Mike Riley is a poet. They have a wonderful home which they designed and built themselves. The library depicted in this print is very central to the mood and atmosphere that pervades this home. The presence of the inhabitors is an important element in my work. I have done many interior drawings of private homes in Oregon over the last few years (Wolf, 1985).
