Cheryl believes in living a bold, authentic life – a path uniquely hers. She has led a successful career in visual art and design for more than 30 years. Her passion project is Urban Rustic® artisan jewelry. Inspiration is found in nature, outdoor adventure and her love of animals. She has a modern, earthy design aesthetic– creating a chic boho/southwestern appeal.

Cheryl loves the combination of rare stones with leather and the rich textures they provide. Traditional methods are used for art creation: hand pierced silver, torch soldering, stone setting, sgraffito style painting with fired glass enamel, and hand dyed/distressed leather.

When Cheryl isn't in her art jewelry studio, she's managing Ridge Creative, Inc. – her marketing and graphic design company.
