20 years. Sherry has been drawing or painting most of her life.She took extensive drawing and painting classes in college, then
painting instruction from three independent teachers. |

training in the classical methods from Covino continuously since 1998. “Frank
has such in-depth knowledge of the master’s methods that there will
never be a time
when I cannot learn from him.”
