Sheryl Burns knows exactly what her dream house looks like.

“I want one that’s peeling paint,” she said, her voice impassioned, “and has rusty nails sticking out.”

The Sterling Heights Artist of the Month for November is talking photography subjects, not future abodes of her own. And when it comes to what captures her attention, it’s the more askew, the more rundown, the more beat up, the better.

Sheryl Burns has been awarded Sterling Heights Artist of the Month for November. Sheryl's photography will be on display for the entire month of November at Sterling Heights City Hall (lower level) and the Used Book Store inside the Library. A native and current resident of Sterling Heights, Sheryl seeks out perfect, and sometimes not-so-perfect, Michigan landscapes and landmarks. Her incredible eye for detail leaves you feeling like you were present for the shot. The official kick-off of the exhibit is on Election Day, and it will remain up for the entire month of November. Feel free to stop by and enjoy the wonders of Michigan!
