Description

Sherry Gara Abstract Figures Pair — Red Heart Motif Acrylics on Panel

Pair of expressive acrylic paintings by Sherry Gara (1938–2025), a Las Cruces, New Mexico artist known for her vivid color work and intuitive, whimsical compositions. Each painting features a bright red, textured figure with circular eyes and a heart-shaped chest motif, rendered against dynamic backgrounds of yellow, lavender, and radiating peach tones. Gara’s distinctive palette and loose, tactile brushwork convey warmth and vitality, blending folk-art immediacy with a pop-surrealist energy.

A lifelong advocate for animals and co-founder of the Spay and Neuter Action Program (S.N.A.P.) in Las Cruces, Gara’s passion for living beings and expressive creativity informed much of her art. Her works have appeared in regional estate and gallery auctions, appreciated for their playful tone and emotional depth. Painted on Fredrix canvas panels, this unsigned pair exemplifies her joyful, imaginative style.
