Sherrie Wolf

Sherrie Wolf is an American photo-realistic painter and printmaker based in Portland, Oregon who has won multiple awards for her work.

[1] Whilst in London, she studied paintings and works by the Old Masters in galleries and museums across Europe, which would later significantly influence her own art.

[1][4] Wolf was fascinated by the unintentional surrealism of Stubb's original painting, which placed a realistically portrayed exotic animal in a bucolic British landscape.

[1] Her use of the still-life was chosen for texture and color, rather than for narrative or symbolic reasons, and to "reinforce the illusion of a disquieting strangeness.

"[1] Another example of Wolf's appropriation technique is found in the self-portrait she painted to commemorate her 60th birthday in 2012, a parody of Gustave Courbet's The Painter's Studio.
