June 14 – July 13, 2025
In conjunction with the 37th Elkhart Jazz Festival, the Midwest Museum of American Art is pleased to present an exhiibt 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 andspontaneity of the music.”
This exhibit will conclude on Sunday, July 13, 2025.
