Katherine Sherwood’s career as an artist has proceeded through a number of surprising stages. Fearful of bad reviews, Sherwood did not originally intend to become a painter. However, she created a unique body of work that incorporated found objects into painted canvases. In 1997, a stroke paralyzed Sherwood’s right side and made her unable to paint with her right hand. Gradually, Sherwood learned to walk and talk again and finally forced herself to begin painting again with her left hand. In the process, her creativity was freed, and her work became richer, deeper, and more eagerly sought after by collectors.
