Meet Jane Sherrill of Jane Sherrill Artist in Somerville, interview with Boston Voyager online magazine, July 3, 2018.

"...Jane Sherrill's powerful acrylic "Looking Up" features a giant of a tree. Armored in bark with a 3-D presence, it zooms toward the sky, biceps bulging, in two hefty panels — strangely delicate but, in the aggregate, as persistent as an upended train on rails of air."

Review of Beauty, History and Transience: The CAA's Annual Members Prize Show
by James Foritano, Artscope, March/April 2017. "Sherrill is an accomplished painter of the ocean, and recently has moved on to icicles. She is also a scholar of light and shadow, in short an artist who is in awe of the world."

Interview with Fallon Leigh O'Brien on the blog Fallon's Daily Toast 8/11/2015.

"A Jane Sherrill seascape tends to impress the viewer with her ability to portray the range of color that exists within the water and her capacity to depict the potency of the ocean’s chaotic movement. Sherrill manages to capture the strength of the sea’s current, the structure of its undulating waves, as well as the smaller water droplets that make up its entirety. Also notable are the wonderful, scenic cloudscapes that she creates. The tension in Sherrill’s artworks often suggests ways in which opposites exist in conjunction with one another in Nature and how mankind coexists with environmental threats."

Interview with Pamela Rosenblatt for the online literary magazine, Wilderness House Literary Review, September 2014, Vol. 9, #3.

"Wonderfully dynamic and energetic representations of the ocean in all its temperaments, with crashing waves, roiling tempests, turbulent skies – and sometimes more placid states – in vivid forms and colors."

"...Paintings such as these seem to suggest a sense of mournful desperation and a possible hazardous future on the horizon for the freedom and democracy the flag is supposed to stand for. However, others give a sense of hope through the use of bright accent colors, which shine like a ray of sunlight bringing new possibility to the badly damaged, trampled and mistreated emblem of America..."Reclaiming the Flag" is a powerful and thought provoking exhibit well worth visiting... It will cause [viewers] to reexamine notions of patriotism and what the flag truly means."

Joyce The Voice interviews Jane Sherrill, "The Voicemobile," WMFO Radio,
March 28, 2007

"...Sherrill said that as an old leftist, it has been difficult to resolve her awkward relationship with the flag, which she had associated with ... the love-it-or-leave-it brand of patriotism. ...she asked herself questions like, "What is wrong with loving one's country? and What is wrong with identifying with one's country?"
