Sherri Tan is an American figurative artist whose work includes collage, sculpture, photography, books and multimedia.

Tan has also been active in designing large-scale sets and artwork for opera and multimedia works including settings for a touring stage production of Gustav Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde presented in the US and China and artworks for composer Thomas Sleeper's operas "Small Change",[1] "River of Shifting Sands" and "The Sisters Antipodes".

Larry Budmen of the South Florida Classical Review writes of Tan's sets for a production of Orpheus: "Sherri Tan's striking scenic design mixes painting, photography and sculpture, forming a flexible playing space that spills out into the aisles of the small venue.
