Spotlight Artist: Sheryl Crowley

There’s a reason so many women step into their greatest power later in life.

After decades of being told to shrink, soften, or put others first, something awakens.

The empty nest, the post-menopausal portal, the “nothing to prove, everything to
express” era… It’s liberation. Feels like coming home, and is a deep
reclamation of truth and power.

Artist Sheryl Crowley is living, breathing proof of what happens when a woman
decides she’s done apologizing – and is ready to create on her own terms.

Since first stepping into the Keep Your Ass in the Studio program and then joining
us for The Sovereign Artist Accelerator – both built specifically for artists – places where
your voice, your vision, and your weird, wild brilliance are not only welcomed but
expected – Sheryl’s creative life has transformed. She’s had:

🎯 Three solo shows
🎯 Multiple juried exhibitions
🎯 Honorary Mention from the Canadian Society of Artists
🎯 Done artist residencies in Ireland and Fundy National Park
🎯 Has a new series in the works (and her boldest yet)

This is what happens when you put an artist inside a container designed for artists.

Sheryl is no longer creating in isolation… She’s no longer gaslighting her own instincts
or bending to what “might sell.”

She’s become sovereign and is stepping into her Crone Era like a woman on fire.
In her own unapologetic words:

“I have been leaning into who I want to be as a woman approaching 60 years and beyond.
I have been working on being more “cunty” – standing up for myself, putting myself into
new situations and not taking crap sitting down but speaking out.

My boundaries are stronger and more thought-out. I will not be so likely to bend to
what will sell. I wish to develop my “cronedom” side – how will I offer example, support,
wisdom and a bit of crazy to the younger generations.” 🔥
