Sheri DeBow: Return of the Bubblegum Princess

Modern Eden Gallery is thrilled to announce our third major solo exhibition with Napa-based artist Sheri DeBow.Return of the Bubblegum Princess is an all new series of DeBow’s fine art dolls that describe a girl’s journey from the playful innocence of childhood into wild ferocity of adulthood. Each doll is part of a progression of characters who start as wide-eyed darlings and blossom into strong, adult women, and fierce subjects of substance. Embodied within each piece is the sense of wonder and curiosity of the very young at heart, beautifully brought to life by the artist’s incredible attention to material and detail.
