Sherrie McGraw: Still Life with OnionsJoin Sherrie McGraw in her grand, spacious studio in Taos, New Mexico, for an informative and moving experience as she brings this composition to life on canvas. Sherrie is an articulate and sharing instructor, as well as an accomplished painter, and this is a rare opportunity to see her complete an original composition in her own private working space outside the workshop venue.
