Top Art Projects

Sherry N. Smith, Owner/Artist

My Story…TopArtProjects was established with an on line presence in 2015.  Fifteen years earlier I began developing a creative design process of painting wood burned designs.  It all started with personalized pegboards for children’s rooms.  This being my Top Art Project!

Along the way I have wood burned designs on many wood surfaces:  pegboards, signs, blocks, boxes, letters, plaques.  This led to creating wood sculptures, wall art, and word or letter art. Eventually, I hope to offer some of my top designs on canvas.

As a child I loved color!  You will find examples of nature in my designs whether literal or abstract.   Mixing colors, designs, and techniques is still a passion.  I am a forever student of art!  Having said that, I must add that I spent 35+ years as a language arts teacher.  School was a perfect environment to explore my imagination through teaching reading as well as spending time in the art and industrial arts’ rooms.

My faith, family, and friends have guided me along the way and I am especially grateful for guidance, support, and encouragement from James, Marcia, Nicholas, Alexis, Christian, Jacob, Emily, Timothy, Pandy, Susan, AMS pals, and those departed but not forgotten.
