Artist Bio

Born 1966 in Ames, Iowa, Sheree Wood lives and works in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and also spends part of the year in Tucson, Arizona. Growing up in Madison, her childhood summers were filled with camping trips across the U.S. and Canada in the family's red VW bus. These adventures, led by her educator parents, instilled in her a deep appreciation of nature, which continues to influence her work today.  

Wood has lived in Venezuela, Spain, and Portugal, and is fluent in both Spanish and Portuguese. She holds BS and MA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she focused on romance languages, Spanish literature, and art. Her studies extended to La Complutense in Madrid and La Universidad de Lisboa in Portugal, where she further explored art history. 

With a primary studio near the  shores of Lake Michigan and a second in the Sonoran desert, Wood draws inspiration from the natural landscapes around her. Her work encompasses watercolors, mixed media, Sumi ink, acrylic, and oil on  canvas and panel, reflecting a sense of freedom that mirrors her experiences outdoors.
