Sheryl Anaya
Sheryl Anaya is a Puerto Rican artist who currently resides in Dallas, Texas. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Texas Woman’s University. Her work explores themes related to identity, personal experience, and memory. While largely focused on life-size fiber based installation, she explores similar themes through the use of photography and found objects. Sheryl has exhibited in venues such as Ro2 Art, The Latino Cultural Center, The MAC, K Space Contemporary, Rockport Center for the Arts, and Washington Street Art Center.
