“MAGENTA HAT”

Description

SHERYL M. BODIE

I love to capture those small moments that reflect human living. Through my work, I seek to magnify and elevate these often overlooked, everyday activities to a place of visibility and relevance. With each artwork, I am inviting the viewer to see the story behind the mundane. The subjects in my artwork are usually solo figures, pairs, and groups involved in the ordinary rhythms of living. Sometimes the figures are posed and static reminiscent of the traditional portrait. Sometimes they are interacting with each other or the environment in subtle or overt ways. I leave it up to the viewer to make the connections and notice the familiar or unfamiliar details layered within. My style usually centers around a contrast between serene, static elements and more detailed, dynamic ones.
