ARTIST STATEMENT

​​My work explores the relationship between nature, memory, Personal journey, and cultural narrative through Oil painting. Rooted in a deep engagement with water as both subject and symbol, my current series explores fluidity, reflection, and transformation. I use layered color, texture, and gesture to evoke emotional resonance and a sense of place.

​

With a foundation in arts education and decades of professional practice, my approach is both intuitive and informed—balancing technical skill with conceptual depth. Each piece invites viewers to pause, reflect, and engage with the quiet power of the natural world.                   ~ Mwasaa D. Sherard

​About​

​I work primarily in oil on canvas, with recent series focused on water themes. My art has been featured in regional and national exhibitions across the Southeast. Since 1981, I have explored various media, but I consistently choose oils as my primary medium. I excel in both plein air and studio work, particularly my compelling "Waterstories."

 

With over 26 years of experience in arts education, I have effectively served as a K–12 Visual Arts Instructor, Art Department Chair, Community Arts Program Coordinator, Museum Educator, Resident Teaching Artist, and Exhibition Juror.

 

My credentials include a B.A. in Black Studies (Creative Arts), an M.A.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction (Art Education certification), and an M.A.Ed. focused on Mindfulness, Social-Emotional Learning, and Yoga.

Water Stories and other  meditations

I paint water stories because they allow me to explore and express my connection to nature and its beauty. Water uniquely evokes emotions, reflects moods, and captures moments of joy and serenity. Through my paintings, I can capture the tranquility of a calm lake, the energy of crashing waves, or the stillness of a river at dawn.

 

Each water story is a reflection and an insight gained. The water's edge transforms my feelings into visual art, inviting viewers to connect with their own emotions and memories linked to water, and inspiring a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world, reminding us of serenity and strength within it.
