Sherry Holder Hunt

 

I am originally from Henderson, Tennessee, a wonderful place to grow up, small town with friendly people. (Eddy Arnold's home town.) After graduation, I moved a few minutes away and I currently live in Jackson, Tennessee, a bit bigger, but still filled with friendly people.

I attended Jackson State Community College where I received an Associate of Applied Science degree.(Computer Programming)
A few years later, I attended McCollum & Ross University of Beauty Culture. I am a licensed cosmetologist and an aesthetician in the state of Tennessee.

Aside from my real job, I am an artist. My paintings are available as Fine Art prints at Imagekind and some of my poetry has been published. There are a few of my poems on my website. Today, July 6th, I am one of the featured artists, thank you Imagekind.

I have always loved to draw. Give me a piece of paper and a pencil and I'll be doodling in no time. When I entered a 4-H poster contest and placed in the fourth grade my interest in art grew. I began painting as a young adult and I prefer watercolors and acrylics. They dry fast and I'm kind of impatient. I like to see the results quickly. You can go to my website Brushstrokes, Prints, and Posters and see most of my paintings that are available as Fine Art Prints and a few of my poems. I currently have eight galleries at Imagekind.

Throughout this lens, you will find some of my paintings and some short YouTube videos of different artists painting. I love the self-portrait that the elephant does. The barbecue sauce artist is quite different and very talented. Another favorite is the sidewalk art videos, they are amazing. I hope you'll take the time to watch them they are really impressive.

Worn many hats... 

Different experiences in working.

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.

The Landing Party II watercolor

A little about my encouraging family... 

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 15 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, he also loves to play all of those games kids his age love, Wii, Playstation3, Runescape etc... 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.

Some other things that I love... 

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. Thank you.

Hi Sherry - wow! You really are talented! I particularly like the rose and the way that you framed it in your lens. My fiance is also creative (both a professional woodworker and an amateur artist) - I only wish I had an ounce of each of your creative talent!

About SherryHolderHunt

Hello, I am Sherry Holder Hunt. I was born and raised in Tennessee. I am basically a self-taught artist, although I have had a few art classes and have attempted to learn more by reading everything I can get my hands on. I started drawing at a very young age, but I did not begin painting until I was an adult. I enjoy different types of media, but I prefer watercolors and acrylics. I enjoy painting many subjects, such as: animals, flowers, decor pieces, Bible Story paintings and Nursery Rhyme paintings. I am currently adding some abstract designs. You can see my paintings at Imagekind SherryHolderHunt.imagekind.com where they are available as fine art prints. Please visit my website at Brushstrokes, Prints, and Posters

If you like them please tag my page in your Favorites and please tell your friends, I would certainly appreciate it. Again thank you and please check back with me to see new listings.

I have designed a method that is easy for children to follow and in no time they are making their own original art pieces. This lens is dedicated to teaching the young and the young at heart how to begin drawing fairly simple sketches that are easy to follow. Give it a try, I promise you'll surprise yourself. So grab some paper and a pencil and amaze yourself, following EZ Doodle is simple.
