Cheryl, a self-taught mosaic artist, has gained recognition for her exquisite craftsmanship, specializing in small connecting pieces of hand-cut stained glass. Her journey into the world of mosaics began humbly, crafting stepping stones for her garden using broken tile fragments that often didn't lay flat. Seeking a solution that offered both the desired surface and vibrant colors, Cheryl stumbled upon an ad on eBay advertising stained glass shards. Intrigued by the array of beautiful hues, she took a leap of faith and ordered a 25-pound box of discarded glass remnants typically used by stained glass artists.

Upon its arrival, Cheryl's fascination blossomed into a passion. Swiftly transitioning from stepping stones to the intricate mosaic artistry she's renowned for today, Cheryl finds solace, challenge, and a touch of addiction in working with glass. Her modest studio, nestled in a small bedroom with a view of her garden, serves as the heart of her creative endeavors. Thanks to the support of her husband Bill and a skilled carpenter, custom-built shelves now line the walls, accommodating her burgeoning collection of glass and tools. Bill's patience extends beyond mere support; he ensures dinner finds its way to the table, as Cheryl often loses track of time immersed in her creations.

Residing in Texas alongside their spirited canine companion, Shashie, Cheryl and Bill embrace the joys of family life, relishing their roles as proud grandparents to six adored grandchildren. Cheryl's upbringing in Dallas, within a family steeped in musical and artistic talents, cultivated her love for both singing and the arts. With her mother's legacy as an oil and watercolor artist and her father's cherished guitar in hand, Cheryl treasures each moment spent pursuing her passions, wishing her parents could share in her creative journey firsthand.
