Sher - Illustrator

Flowing from the pens, pencils and watercolors of Carol Sher, are the humorously flamboyant characters of Lulu, Mew, Lily and Smooch as well as a cast of "girly-girlz" characters whose lives could be drawn from the pages of “Cosmo.”

Lulu, the arbiter of style and fine living, grace and privilege, is the quirky centerpiece of this family of eccentrics. Lulu leads by example, and her examples are thick with a joie de vivre played out in the pages of “Life with Lulu and Mew” and “Living with Lily and Smooch.” The ladies with their respective pets live their lives of comfort, love and of course the proper applications of wit and self-indulgence.

Once upon a time, Sher worked as a hospital technologist by day and as an artist by night. At one point early in her pursuit of art, Sher purchased an old school bus, converted it to a motor home and traveled from craft shows to Renaissance Fairs with her art on tow. Eventually with her husband acting as manager and booking agent they supported themselves very well and continued to travel. “My dream was to make art my full-time career. I began experimenting with china painting and luster.” She also loved drawing and she found ways to interweave the two. Lulu and friends are available for licensing, and as spokespeople for the elegant and upscale. Clients have included: Bergdorf-Goodman, Graceland, Disney's Floridian Hotel, and the Boston Tea Party. Sher's work has been sold throughout the USA, England, Australia, France and Japan.
