A thirty-year old new mom who can only paint in the wee hours of the morning and write when everyone in her busy household has settled in, won in the recent Strathmore's Artist Tradind Cards and Art Cards Editions and Originals (Strathmore ATC@ACEO).
The news, that she is the Winner of the 2008 International ACEO Competition, came two days right after Mother's Day which according to Sherie is another achievement and another blessing for her.
