Meet Shari Sherman... of Hula Dog Designs

Shari Sherman

I make Happy Art for Happy People! 

I love that thrill of getting an idea and making it come to life.

 I love bright colors (especially turquoise!), strong simple lines, and adding words 

of inspiration to my art.

I like mixed-media because it is limitless, but painting will always be my first love.  

My subject matter frequently includes dogs, books, and anything related to 

the ocean/beach, because that is what I LOVE.

People often smile when they see my art, and I feel like I am doing my part 

in making the world a happier place!

How did you finally decide on the look of your brand?  

What did the evolution look like?   

My brand is still a work in progress. I am from Hawaii and I live in Florida and love the beach, so that is how I arrived at my island style!  I am working on a logo for Hula Dog Designs. I think branding should reflect both your personality and your business, and I want to create a brand that says whimsical, fun and relaxed...what is more fun than a dog in a hula skirt?

Shari is currently working on a book project called, The Inklings.  For more information on this and other fun stuff, like her page, Hula Dog Designs on Facebook or check out her blog, Dashboard Hula.
