Meet Sheri Vegas

Sheridan Vigers aka Sheri Vegas is a mixed media artist empowering novice makers around the world to dip a toe into the mesmerising world of resin art.

Born into a family of DIY enthusiasts – and proclaimed an art prodigy by her primary school teacher – it’s no surprise that creativity became Sheri’s life. Sheri quickly fell in love with the endless possibilities of fluid art, and after making her first resin wave-themed artwork, she realised you don’t need to be a pro to create a masterpiece worthy of a prime spot in your home.

After a decade of experimenting with this free-flowing medium, Sheri has more than 100 thousand YouTube subscribers and a strong community that leans on her for beginner-friendly resin art advice. Teaching at popular art hubs all over Brisbane, she covers everything from resin flower preservation to fabric ice dyeing.

While Sheri might have hit the jackpot when it comes to artistic genes, her workshops are all about proving that anyone can be creative (yes, even you!).

The first thing I ever made…

“My first resin artwork was a wave-themed resin artwork that I made for my own bedroom. All my friends loved it and wanted me to create a similar artwork for them too. Then they asked me to teach them the process and so I made my very first YouTube video as a way to teach my interstate friends too.” 

I’m on a mission to…

“Help other people unleash their creativity, especially for the first time. It’s a joy to help other people realise that everyone can make art.”

When I’m working with resin…

“I feel relaxed, I get in my creative zone and nothing else matters. My art studio is my happy place where all my creating happens. I never have to force myself to be there because I would spend all day every day in there if I could.” 

Teaching others has taught me…

“How fulfilling it is to see a student who thought they could never create go beyond their comfort zone. I have learnt that art is very subjective and everyone has the ability to create. I have the best job where I get to encourage and inspire people who never thought they could create artwork. Watching them fall in love with their piece and proudly hang it in their homes adds a whole other layer of satisfaction to my job.”
