Artist Portfolio Magazine’s 10 Art Competition

Kathleen McSherry – Doylestown, PA

Born in Brooklyn, raised in Queens, NY.

A graduate of the School of Visual Arts in NYC, Kathleen McSherry has had a long career in advertising and marketing in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

She has taught at the School of Visual Arts, Syracuse University, Pratt Institute in New York, University of the Arts and Temple University in Philadelphia and Drew University in New Jersey.

Throughout her tenure as an art/creative director in advertising, she was also a cartoonist. Kathleen says “I believe that the cartoon is the purest form of communication. It has whimsy, insight and poignancy.” Her work has been exhibited in Europe, Japan, the Middle East and South America.

“It’s a calling, to make art. It was always there tapping on my shoulder, but I had to support myself and was fortunate enough to find work that paid for ideas” said McSherry. “I spent my entire career in advertising working collaboratively. Now this is my time to step out of the chorus and go solo.”

Now retired from advertising, she now spends
full time creating her art. She has shown work locally and regionally.

Her studio is in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
