On exhibit through July 13 Gyrations & Jazz: The Gestural Drawings of Sheri Smith

In conjunction with the 37th Elkhart Jazz Festival, the Midwest Museum of American Art is pleased to present an exhibit of 20 gestural drawings by Sheri Smith a Chicago-based artist working under the name Creme Sheri.

“My artistic practice centers on capturing the ephemeral energy of live jazz performances. Each drawing is made in real time, often from a cafe table in the dim glow of a venue, where I am completely immersed in the music. The tools I use—Caran d’Ache wax crayons on suede board or scratchboard—allow me to move quickly and intuitively, matching the rhythm and spontaneity of the music.”
