Mallory Sherman is a 22-year-old self-taught abstract artist living in the Pittsburgh area. Mallory began pursuing art during her junior year of college in order to destress and better her mental health. Mallory’s work begins as a physical paint stick design and then is transformed into a digital artwork. Through photography and digital editing, the original design is mirrored and tessellated into an optical illusion-like final print. Mallory’s artistic goal is to create an immersive experience that engages the viewer and encourages them to pursue their own form of creative expression. Mallory’s work is a dynamic product between herself and the viewer.
