M&T & Main Stage Gallery
GO ART! is pleased to feature the expressive and deeply personal work of 21 year old artist Jaylah Sherman, whose paintings explore mental health, identity, and the whimsical corners of self-reflection. Sherman’s work blends metaphor, symbolism, and emotional honesty, offering viewers an unfiltered look into her lived experience.
Sherman has also contributed significantly to GO ART!’s visual environment, painting murals throughout the building—including the Alice in Wonderland–themed bathroom, kitchen monsters, and a mermaid at the rear entrance.
About the Artist
Born in Rochester and raised in Pavilion, NY, Sherman discovered early on that art was a powerful tool for processing and expressing her mental health journey. She graduated from Pavilion High School in 2023 and earned her associate degree from Genesee Community College in 2025. She is currently pursuing her Bachelor of Fine Arts at Nazareth University, where she plans to continue into a master’s program in art therapy. Her work centers on selfportraiture and the full spectrum of emotional experience—from joyful whimsy to mental health advocacy.
