Artist: Shereene Fogenay was born and spent her early years in Frankfurt Germany. At the age of 12 yrs. old her family moved to Las Vegas Nevada. She later received an AA in Art from the College of Southern Nevada. Currently Shereene manages the Bellagio Gallery of Fine art here in Las Vegas, Nevada. She has been working there for over 6yrs. The exposure to some of the most incredible artists and curators of our time has encouraged her to create art with meaning. The mediums she works with includes acrylic, ink, and watercolors. Her work focuses on her Guyanese heritage and expressions of people of color, specifically women of color. Shereene enjoys the idea of showing the Black community, which sometimes includes her own family members conveying dynamic expressions. She believes that in our society, black expression is not always received well. Shereene allows her work to express her identity and the hopes she has of open expression for people of color.
