“Babe and Arms” – Mixed Media Collage on Canvas (12 x 12)

Available for acquisition

In “Babe and Arms,” artist Sherri Ehrlich reimagines a classical image of maternal tenderness and divine connection through her signature multimedia style. This 12 x 12-inch canvas fuses traditional Renaissance-inspired figures with bursts of vibrant modern expression. The central trio—likely Madonna, child, and attendant—emerges from the canvas like a memory framed by color, light, and sound.

Surrounding the central figures are intricate heart motifs, stylized paisleys, hand-drawn musical notes, and vibrant textures, weaving together themes of love, music, and spiritual depth. Sherri’s use of collage elements—textured paper, acrylics, ink, and pastels—evokes a dreamscape where antiquity meets the contemporary. The background layers hint at cityscapes, Roman columns, blooming flowers, and blue skies, symbolizing both groundedness and transcendence.

The musical staff and notes, paired with bursts of radiant color and expressive detailing, reflect Sherri’s lifelong relationship with music and her passion for connecting visual and auditory art forms. This piece glows with a lyrical energy, inviting viewers to step into a realm of layered stories and felt emotion.

Signed by the artist in the lower right corner, “Babe and Arms” is a vibrant celebration of motherhood, music, and memory—now available for acquisition.
