The Community Center is proud to present the artwork of Sherry Petrini and Barbara Lawrence in the Maurice Del Mue Galleries through February.

Sherry Petrini, exhibiting in the Valley Room, received her MFA from the SF Art Institute. She’s exhibited in numerous shows with the Community Center including the annual Spring Art Show as well as other galleries and venues throughout the Bay Area.

Sherry writes of her work:

"Trying to escape the bleakness of my early life and the restrictions caused by a serious disability from before memory, I create in my paintings environments where I can encounter the creative, rich life of the spirit.

Without my consciously intending to do so, many of these recent works are set in Europe where I traveled many times in my young adulthood to assert my independence. I work quickly, delineating forms with simple lines.

The pictures are also touched by the dilapidated charm of darkness and humor caused by the tension between aspiration and unavoidable accident."
