Artist Statement

“In my early days I had limited myself by only drawing. My transition into painting forced me to explore new materials pushing various scientific principles. As I continue to discover painting it becomes more and more intriguing. My art is not driven by creating finished work but merely the courses I take to get there. In a sense I am a problem solver...The choices I make will ov

erall impact the final piece. As I continue to practice my craft these complex decisions become more instinctive. I feel my best art takes form when I follow that innate voice. Art is less a struggle and more a natural pursuance of ideas. As I grow I hope to find harmony between each material to illuminate the influence of these instincts.” Ian M Sherwin

Today was a proud moment… I finished and shipped off my 750th sold ballpoint pen drawing since October 2018. A big thank you to everyone that has bought a drawing or started collecting. Without you, I could not follow my childhood dream of being an artist…. Much love and gratitude!!

Friends and art collectors I need your help, I know there are not many of you on this new page. I am going to Minnesota next week to celebrate my dear friend Dan Stallsworth and his life as an artist. While I am there I am donating art programs to a bit more than 50 clients at MSS https://www.mssmn.org/
Most of the folks I will be working with have some severe disabilities. I need funding from you folks. I will need to build around 30 assisted technology gloves for those that cannot hold a paint brush. I am also in need of all the art supplies. If you can donate to help me in this quest, I will be forever grateful. You can send funds to: [email protected]
through Zelle or Paypal.... thank you in advance, I really need help from my community on this one. If you cannot donate, bless you and please share with someone that might be able to help! Thank you, Sherwin loves you!!

Sweet home Chicago!
