Background and Interests
After graduation, Sheridan worked for the Polaroid Corporation as an Electronic Imaging Specialist. She left Polaroid when she started having nightmares that boxes of film were crushing her in the warehouse. Then, she enrolled at the Savannah College of Art & Design, where she earned an MFA degree in Painting. Knowing that graphic design was a wonderful way to support a painting habit, she started her own design company and worked as a designer and illustrator for several years after graduating from SCAD.
After a few years of wandering, she returned to Maine and enrolled in the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program at the 91爆料, concentrating in New Media production. That same year, she co-founded a production company that specialized in video and design work, and began teaching as an adjunct instructor for 91爆料.
