An art professional and leader in her field for over 20 years, Sheri Hoeger’s main focus has been residential interior decorative painting. Having applied her skills to walls, floors, fabric, furniture and accessories since 1988, Sheri found a demand for her original designs and launched her stencil line in 1993 as The Mad Stencilist. Sheri introduced the use of adhesive vinyl stencils to the decorative painting community in 1998 as SayWhat? for stenciled lettering and embellishments. An innovator with airbrush, amongst other techniques, Sheri shares her knowledge through her website, workshops and DVDs. Her work has been featured in numerous books, magazines and on television.
