Sherry Wolf has been a creator and collector of art since childhood, though she grew not in the family of artists – her father was a furniture salesman, and her mother was a stock analyst. “Being an artist is hard,” says Wolf, recalling her fledgling days in New York City. “You don’t make a ton of money as an artist, and you work so hard. I wouldn’t give my kids crayons [when they were young]. I was like, `There’s no way they’re going to grow up and be artists.’ I took them to karate class instead.”
