Baker Artist Portfolios

Sherry Insley is a mixed media artist working primarily in photography, video, printmaking, and artist books. Her current work is a rumination on time and the impermanence of both the emotional and realized landscape of memory. She utilizes light sensitive materials in both historic and contemporary ways to document and preserve these investigations. Interested in the physicality of photography, her most recent work Temporality, explores how image making can manipulate and influence the experience of time. Sherry Insley is a 2023 MAEA Art Educator of the Year nominee, received the 2023 Juror’s Choice award for Maryland Federation of the Arts American Landscapes Exhibit, a MSAC IAA winner, a SURDNA Foundation awardee, and a 2018 Artist in Residence through the Hive Maker Space. She has exhibited her work locally and nationally. She holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from UMBC and MICA. Currently, she is an instructor at Carver Center of the Arts, a nationally recognized audition based magnet fine arts program. She can be found in Baltimore City most of the time, and at the salt marsh the rest of the time.
