Sherry Holder Hunt, artist

I have worn many hats during my working career. During high school, I sold vitamins, or maybe I should say, I helped my parents sell vitamins. My first paycheck came from a job as a waitress. My second job, a car-hop for Sonic. From the restaurants, I moved to sales, sales clerk that is. I worked in department stores selling cosmetics, candy, greeting cards, jewelry (I also engraved jewelry), lingerie, accessories, and men's fragrances. I worked for a short time as a free-lance make-up artist, mainly for Elizabeth Arden cosmetics. From cosmetics I went into business for myself as a hairstylist and make-up artist, which I loved and stayed with until tendinitis set in and it was time for another career change. My current job is Office Manager for our energy management/controls business.

My husband is a licensed electrical contractor and a licensed mechanical contractor. We started a business specializing in energy management controls and I am his Office Manager. We have been married 16 wonderful years.

That same year we started our business, our son was born. So my work-life is filled with paper work and a computer. When I have any spare time, I paint and write poetry, I am an artist and a poet at heart.

If I am going to tell you about me, I must tell you about my biggest accomplishment. At the top of the list, the most important would have to be our son. He is my "son-shine", and he does shine. We believe he is very talented, he sings, he plays lead guitar, he plays the piano and he is intellectually gifted and an Honor Roll student. He has received several academic awards and recognitions. Currently, he is in a rock band and he loves it. The first band he was in was called The Shamrocks, the second was The RIP Chordz, then Fifteen Minutes of Fame, Neverending Noise and now, Just That Good. Colton plays lead guitar and he sings. They have performed several songs, including Land of Confusion, a rock song written by the band Genesis for their 1986 album Invisible Touch, and Living On A Prayer, by Bon Jovi. I find it amazing that the kids his age love the music I grew up listening to. He also loves to play all of those games kids his age love, Wii, Playstation3, Runescape etc... Colton is a young budding artist. You will find some of his work below. Needless to say he keeps me busy.

I am very blessed to have a wonderful family and good friends. They are all very supportive and have encouraged me. Without that encouragement, my paintings would most likely have remained on my walls only and no one would ever have read any of my poetry. My husband, son, and parents probably get tired of hearing about one of my projects, but they never let on, they just keep listening and I keep writing and painting.

I love anything to do with art and music. I enjoy arts and crafts. I'm a pretty good cook, which I like to do. I have some great recipes and some that have been in our family for generations. I love to read. I enjoy growing plants and a few veggies. Our home is full of pets, we have cats, a dog, fish, and hermit crabs. Where we live (inside the city limits) you would not expect to see a lot of wildlife, but we have seen wild turkeys, deer, possum, raccoons, foxes, and rabbits in our yard. We feed the deer, squirrels and a lot of different types of birds. Humming birds, cardinals, blue jays, mocking birds, finches, wood-peckers and robins.

The newest addition to things I enjoy is Squidoo. I have truly enjoyed this experience and meeting so many interesting people. The volume of information here is astounding and the people are friendly and helpful. Recently, I was invited to become a Rocket Mom. An experience that I am truly enjoying. I have met a lot of smart, helpful moms there.
