Sherrie Jones was born in Perth, Western Australia. Her family passed down their stories from Mirning, Wirangu, Yindjibarndi, and Yamitji groups, having an important influence on her artwork. Sherrie predominantly paints stories from Country, mapping the Country, vegetation, and different plant species that are used during inma (dance), for healing purposes and ceremony. A proud mother of four children, Sherrie hopes that her artwork will influence their lives, as her stories will be passed down to them. As an inspirational arts worker at Arts Ceduna, and a multitalented and experimental artist, Sherrie practices and teaches multiple art forms, including painting, pottery, basket weaving, textiles and artefact making.
