Roger Charles Sherry, a native Staten Islander, is a landscape architect and master craftsman with over forty years of experience working with wood, steel, and stone.  He designs and fabricates distinctive projects for interiors, gardens and landscapes.  Typical commissions have ranged in scale from armoires to arbors, belvederes to bridges, campaign tents to carriage barns, and dining tables to dovecotes.  Twenty years ago he designed and constructed the Information Booth and the White Garden Pavilion on the grounds at Snug Harbor. Sherry lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where recent commissions include master plans and gardens for private estates and mountaintop residences, restoration of National Historic Landmarks, and innovative projects for institutions such as Hollins University, and the University of Virginia’s Medical Center and School of Architecture.  His latest work, Kate’s Traverse, is included in the museum’s new exhibition, Robbins Reef Lighthouse: A Home in the Harbor.
