Sherry Markovitz
born Chicago, Illinois, 1947
Markovitz’s works include paintings and sculpture and works that combine elements of both. Animals, both domestic and wild, and dolls are recurring motifs in her images representing at various times loss, love, comfort, and security. She often applies various decorative objects to her sculptures and paintings including beads, sequins, lace, feathers, and other small objects. Inherent at all levels of her work is the idea of transformation: two-dimensional to three-dimensional, unadorned to decorated, wild to domestic, loss to acceptance.
