Sherri Mignonne has been an artist since her early teen years, attending art school and collecting an eclectic array of sculptures and paintings. Since she was 10, she has never been without an art project in the works. Her passion for photography moved to the forefront of her artistic expression for many years.  Sherri studied under Patricia Richards, a nationally known Texas photographer, and with Joe McNally, a National Geographic photographer. She has extensive work as a fine arts and celebrity photographer for the American Film Institute. 
Sherri’s paintings, giclees, and photographic works can be found in galleries and art shows across the Southwest. Additionally, her paintings and photographic works are in private and public collections and can be found in the homes of celebrities.

Her love for painting came back into focus in 2002 when she was inspired to create pictures from her photographic images. Her works are found in private and public collections, and she has been published in numerous newspapers, magazines, and books. Currently, painting in her studio has taken precedence over her other artistic loves of songwriting, screenplay writing, sculpting, and novels.

Sherri Mignonne grew up in Texas.  From early on, Sherri knew she wanted to be an artist – having varied interests in painting, photography, music, and writing, she didn’t know where to start. Eventually, she would passionately pursue all of the above, but the love of painting would emerge repeatedly as her primary form of creative expression.

As a teenager, she spent hours painting colorful expressionist-style works that amazed her family and friends. Additionally, she enjoyed studying with her grandmother, who painted beautiful landscapes and did other styles for commissioned pieces. She was also greatly influenced by her mother, who was a gifted decorator and artist. Sherri continued her artistic studies at the University of Texas at Arlington and attended workshops and learning through self-study.
