Sherry Rogers - Children's Book Illustrator

Sherry is a digital illustrator who lived in the San Francisco Bay area of California for over 17 years. While living there she attended Foothill College and studied Graphic Design/Graphic Arts. After completing college she worked for over a decade as a successful graphic designer and technical illustrator with three high-profile engineering companies.

After relocating to Rocklin, California, where she currently lives, she was lucky start illustrating for children. After a year of marketing and creating art Sherry was asked to illustrate her first book and a year later she was fortunate to be offered a contract to illustrate another book. Sherry has illustrated seven picture books and in contract for her eighth.

All of Sherry’s art begins traditionally with pencil and paper, but she paints it in Photoshop. She began using Photoshop in college in the early 1990’s when it had no layers and no undos. She loves Photoshop and can’t imagine painting her art any other way. Working as a Graphic Designer/ Artist she did technical illustration which required her to use not only Photoshop, but Illustrator as well. After using both Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator for over fifteen years she is addicted to digital illustration and an expert at both programs.

Sherry is married, has a son, a daughter, two dogs, and two very old cats.
