About Sherry Holub

I met my spouse, Mario, at UCLA School of Art in 1994. After graduating in 1995, I founded a small agency specializing in web and graphic design. Mario became my partner in the company in 1999. In 2002, we were married at the Costa Mesa, CA court house because neither of us wanted a big wedding ceremony (after already being together since 1995).

Mario was a highly talented artist, musician, illustrator and 3D Designer, but a tortured one. He was one of those gentle, creative souls who ended up burning twice as bright for half as long. Mario lost the battle with liver disease induced by alcoholism (almost exactly 6 months after he became sober) on 2/10/21.

I’m a long-time artist and writer with a background in photography who enjoys cooking, getting outdoors, staying young at heart, and sharing experiences to potentially help others. When it comes to writing, I’ve written both for fun and professionally over the years. Writing is also sometimes therapy for me and I don’t mind sharing my personal experiences with a wider audience.

Portals in Time

Posted on: September 22, 2023 | Posted by: Sherry Holub

This past week, two of my cats have found such good hiding places in my house that I honestly couldn’t find them, even though I looked everywhere. I jokingly thought to myself that there might be a secret time portal in my house that only they know about and can slip in and out of […]

Signs

Posted on: September 15, 2023 | Posted by: Sherry Holub

Talking with others who have lost someone, a common topic that often comes up are signs from your departed loved one. I’ve been documenting signs since the day Mario died. When I speak of signs, I am talking about occurrences that go beyond the coincidental or the mundanely explainable. Also, things that have a particular, […]

A Race to the Finish Line

Posted on: September 8, 2023 | Posted by: Sherry Holub

Mario always said he, “wasn’t in a race to the finish line”, in reference to cutting his life short. As depressed as he would get, he said he didn’t want to commit suicide. In my eyes, he absolutely was in a race to the finish line by destroying his health year after year through drinking. […]
