Sad news about Sherrill Kahn

After writing about Sherrill Kahn's creative books in my last post, I dug around online looking for information about what she's doing now, hoping I could follow her latest creations on Facebook or Instagram. When I couldn't find anything, I did what we always hate to do and googled Sherrill Kahn obit. There it was. She passed away Dec. 10 of last year.

She was 82 and was living in Encino, CA. I knew that her husband, who helped start her company, Impress Me Now, had died, and I think that's when she closed her company. But her books will live on!

She had been an art teacher for more than 30 years, with 27 of them being at Palisades High School in Los Angeles. She wrote her wonderful, colorful, creative books after she retired.

The only way for me to describe her style is delicious! She uses all of my favorite, mouth-watering, saturated colors and fills her art with symbols inspired by Southwest petroglyphs. I have some of her rubber stamps and use them often.

Rest in color, Sherrill!
