Paper Sculptures By Sher Christopher

Sher was born in Bournemouth in Dorset and studied at Bournemouth & Poole College of Art & Design.
Sher graduated from the University of Wolverhampton with a BA (Hons) in Three Dimensional Design and a successful end of year show at Covent Garden in 1992. After graduating Sher settled in Oxfordshire where she exhibited regularly in Oxford as a member of the Cholsey Art Group. Alongside her own work Sher worked with other artists and actors constructing and manning huge puppets for community festival events in Oxfordshire. It was at this time she gained her first experiences of teaching and acting. In 1995 Sher returned to Dorset where she set up her own studio fulfilling commissions for portraiture in both drawing and sculpture. Sher continued her involvement in community festivals and carnivals, this time along the South Coast of England, working with different groups constructing large scale sculptures resulting in awards, namely both Bournemouth and Ringwood carnival float winners several years running. In 1998, in parallel to her own freelance work as a professional artist, Sher began her teaching career at Bournemouth & Poole College of Art & Design and then in 2002 Sher went on to specialise in Prison Education. Combining her skills as an artist and teacher Sher designed and led innovative 3-Dimensional design and drawing courses, working with prisoners and the local community, with one of the projects winning a Silver Award for the Weymouth Carnival in 2005. Sher divides her time between her homes in the UK and the USA and continues to work from her studio in Dorset. Her highly individual paper sculptures have continued to be on exhibition both nationally and internationally.
