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.
Rest in color, Sherrill!

I guess that's where we are all headed. She left a nice legacy with her books and all the students she taught and inspired. Any of us should be so lucky.
I also was going to look her up Sherrie. But I did order 2 of her books, and am looking forward to reading them. Those are my favorite colors too- bright,
So sorry you lost your friend, Sherrill. What talent! I love her colors and creative style. It will live on in her creations and books.
She was and still is an amazing inspiration, and I enjoyed trying her techniques.
I too look up obits and am always sad when I find them. After your last post I went to my library's website and placed holds on several of her books. Can't wait to read them. I try to get books at the library first to see what I might want to buy for my home art library. Thank you for sharing.
