Michael Sherman is a painter, public artist, and teacher. His work explores the line between figuration and abstraction, direct observation and memory, and often depicts intersections between natural and man-made environments.

One of his public works is on permanent display at 125th Street and 5th Avenue. He’s currently a resident artist for the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council SUCASA program and a recipient of a LMCC Creative Learning Grant.
