⏳ Sherri Warner Hunter made a five-year bet on herself.
After moving to Tennessee, she gave herself five years to establish an independent career as an artist. If it didn’t work, she would find a job and make art on the side.
Then came year four, month eleven.
With just one month left, Hunter received her first public-art commission through the Tennessee Arts Commission.
“Almost,” she says. “But the Universe was watching out for me.”
Decades later, Hunter has built a career creating public art across Tennessee and beyond—proof of just how much can hinge on staying with something a little longer.
