Hello, I'm Sherit (pr. Shir-eet). I'm an artist:
I create wearable art that expresses a woman's uniqueness with elegance by making luxurious, shimmering, devoré (burnout) velvet that is hand dyed. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, designed to be worn with jeans or dressed up for special occasions.
The silk velvet provides luxurious softness and comfort, while the patterns and motifs draw inspiration from beauty found in nature. My vibrant color combinations evoke positive moods and tell their own stories through carefully layered hues.
My artistic journey began at Rhode Island School of Design, where I focused on painting and discovered my love for layering brush strokes of color onto flat white surfaces. As a young artist, I moved to San Francisco and found making and selling crafts at Bay Area street fairs to be both fun and a practical way to pay rent.
Today, through my lovingly made, colorful accessories, I aim to add a small amount of positive energy to the world. There's a sense of peace to be found in the patterns of the untouched natural world, and I hope to share that tranquility through each unique piece I create.
I explain more about the process and how its made here.
