Sheryl Tempchin’s abstract and semi-abstract paintings are expressions of her deep feelings for the natural world, its beauty and fragility.
Born in Minnesota, Tempchin spent much of her childhood surrounded by nature—the woodlands and lakes near her home on the outskirts of Minneapolis, as well as her grandparents’ farm near the town of Alexandria.
As an adult, she eventually settled in the coastal town of Encinitas, where she continues to live and paint.
Tempchin studied art at Palomar College, in San Marcos CA, UCLA, and the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles.
Tempchin’s technique involves applying oil paint to canvas or panel with various tools—palette knives, squeegees and bondo spreaders—then blending and refining with brushes.
“My paintings are about the natural world, the sea, the sky, and the life that surrounds me,” she says.
“What I’m interested in is not so much how things look as how they make me feel, and the mystery behind it all.”
“Through my paintings, I hope people can connect to that sense of mystery.”

I’m glad you enjoyed them! I like that you can see and feel what she’s painting without having any real shapes on her canvas.

Her work reminded me of yours — but yours is more specific shapes and strokes (if I’m saying that right). The colors are so you, and it seems there is a real grasp of colors that work together.
