Married first in 1947 to Paul M Rebmann, 1922-1990
Married second in 1948 to Collie Harper Wall, 1918-1968

The following is from "The Paint Rag", Nov. 1989 and Jan 1990:

Sheri Blackburn is a versatile artist who paints in all mediums used for artistic expression. She is also known for creating new methods of painting such as her innovative batik method which combines water- color, wax resists and oriental paper. She began as a commercial artist, designing labels for canned foods, then moved into fine art, studying at Long Beach State College, California Institute of Art in L.A. with teachers who were students of Nicolai Fechin. A recent one woman show at Brandon Gallery where a record 14 paintings were sold validates the excellence of her creation. Her One Woman Shows include such prestigious organizations as: Long Beach Museum, La Jolla Art Association, The Gallery in La Jolla, Gallery Unlimited in Long Beach, San Diego Art Institute, Gallery 384 in Laguna Beach, Cypress Civic Center and Long Beach Symphony. The forty-plus First Place and Best of Show awards Sheri Blackburn has won in important juried shows, manifests the credibility of this fine, experienced artist.
