Cheryl has been working with glass since 1990.  She started off with a beginning stained glass class, then a couple of years later, a beginning glass fusing class.  From there it has snowballed into an art business that keeps her busy nearly full time.

Cheryl has defined herself as a glass painter, using glass enamels, micas, liquid precious metals and crushed glass to paint on the face and in reverse on glass to create images of trees, leaves, nature, birds, bears, coyotes, bunnies and so much more.   All work is hand painted and kiln fired.   Each piece goes through up to 4 different firings and up to as high as 1485 degrees per firing.  The paint is permanent – will not scratch off, will not fade and always keeps its shine.

Cheryl has recently begun painting custom pet totems from customer’s pet photographs.  From dogs and cats to birds, reptiles and rodents, she can create lifelike representations of nearly any animal family member.

You can currently see Cheryl’s art throughout the San Bernardino Mountains, from Crestline to Big Bear and at fine art shows throughout Southern California.
