Daune Sheri offers an acute awareness to the discipline of portraiture.  She describes her work as emotive realism characterized as a style of art that evokes an emotional response by subtly stimulating a memory or mood. 

Her technique is based on a receptive thought process of exploring and visualizing every level of detail about her study before she  applies medium to paper.  Through this absolute observation, she dramatically portrays sensitivity to the true structure and identity of her subject.  Her studies are executed in black and white, with the use of the traditional medium graphite pencil or pen and ink.  Due to its intricate texture, both lend a heightened realistic approach thus creating a visually strong rendition with the end result being an aesthetic fine detailed interpretation of the subject.
 
Intensely personal, the portrait images that define Daune Sheri's body of work directly depict the importance of "being".  Through self-expression, she exposes the profound sensibilities of life and impresses on the mind portraits that are both evocative and contemplative. The artist's authentic representations identify a fundamental truth that all things are parallel.  Her portraits are meant to engage the viewer's attention and haunt one's thoughts so as to allow them a glimpse beyond the surface of her subject.

Daune Sheri is a realist of portrait art who alludes to an emotional perspective both in her compositional simplicity and her strength of purpose.
