“Puffed Sleeves” is a vivid, energetic portrait of a young child, her gaze direct and slightly guarded, set against a warm background of layered golds, oranges, and dusty reds. The electric blue of her puffed-sleeve dress cuts boldly through the warm palette, creating an immediate jolt of contrast that gives the small painting an outsized presence. Scherer's brushwork is confident and physical — the face built from angular strokes that suggest expression more than they define it, the background scraped and restless behind the figure's stillness. The result is a portrait that feels both tender and charged, capturing something true about childhood without softening it. Scherer studied with NW Master William Cumming, whom she met at the Art Institute of Seattle, in 1984. His influence was instrumental in her understanding of color, design and its use in painting. Amy passes along years of experience and wisdom to her own students now as well as pursuing her full time career as a professional artist in Washington State.
