[1][2] During World War I, Sherlock studied under Walter Sickert and Harold Gilman at the Westminster Technical Institute.
[1] Gilman died in 1919, after only a short time as a teacher at Westminster, but by then he had inspired a loyal group of followers, including Mary Godwin, Ruth Doggett, and Sherlock, who carried on with his approach into the 1920s and 1930s.
[1][2] Sherlock made oil paintings and copper etchings, in pen and ink, and in pencil.
