Cheryl has lived in southern Utah since 2005. Designing and creating have
always been an important part of her life. Over the years she has designed
clothing, dolls, vintage jewelry collages, angels, macramé lamps, music boxes
and many other interesting items.
Ten years ago, she discovered the world of wire wrapped jewelry. Combining
beautiful natural stones with wire is not only challenging, but also addictive.
Cheryl designs jewelry with various types of wire, chains, semi-precious stones,
gemstone beads and silver. Wire weaving is one of her favorite ways to
showcase unique, outstanding stones, crystals, and beads.
Cheryl is largely self-taught, learning from numerous resources, and other artist
mentors and forums within the jewelry-marking community. Her creative
background is tapped in many ways as each piece grows organically, with no
two pieces ever quite the same.
Custom orders are intriguing to design. In addition to custom pendants and
earrings, she has also created a large (5 feet by 2 feet) wall sculpture using
larger stones and heavier gauge wire.
Cheryl believes making jewelry as a creative outlet, she has the opportunity to
nurture her own soul for a few moments. Cheryl’s work makes her happy and
increases the joy in her life.
