Vicki Sher is a multimedia artist based in Brooklyn. Sher's drawings, paintings and sculpture rely heavily on playful and joyful explorations of color and shape. Along with exuberant color, music has long been important to the way Sher thinks about her compositions. For her, the colors are alternately harmonious and discordant, and shapes function like beats and melodies on the page. Fittingly, when Sher's father, an east coast boy, landed in Albuquerque, New Mexico to begin his service as an army private, he immediately wrote home, awe-struck, to his mother saying he finally knew what the song meant by "purple mountains majesty". It is a beloved family story, a rare moment for him to wax poetic in this way. Born in Washington D.C. in 1966, Vicki Sher received her BFA from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, and her MFA from the University of Iowa. Her work has been exhibited at public institutions, including the Moore College of Art, Philadelphia, PA, The Phillips Museum at Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, PA, and the Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery, University of Dallas, Dallas TX. She is the recipient of a MacDowell Colony Fellowship award and a VCCA Fellowship award. She has participated in numerous art fairs, including VOLTA Basel, NADA, and Art Paris Fair. Sher is represented by Frosch & Co. Gallery in New York, NY;, Maya Frodeman Gallery, Jackson, WY, George Gallery, Charleston, SC, and Galerie Louis Gendre, Chamalieres, France, among other galleries in the USA and Europe.
