Original Art
by
Cheryl Strait
I am an artist working in the mediums of Metalworking, Silversmithing and Collage.
Using the process of hand fabrication and very basic handtools, combining, Sterling- Silver,Gold, Copper, Brass, found objects and gemstones.My one of a kind jewelry,makes use of found objects in a
re-designed style, for customers who choose to be different.” I enjoy using different objects,not always thought of as jewelry materials.
My work is not cast or machine made and because of this it is often described as organic or unconventional.
Each piece is made by hand using sawing, filing, sanding, hammering, soldering and hand-stamping techniques.
I am an exhibiting artist, which means my work is sold mainly through Fine Art /Craft shows,Museums and Special Events and online at my etsy boutiques.

Purchase my handmade art:
Collage 2007-2008. My collages for this year are all about colors and shapes,mixed with the Stark Reality of Black & White whimsical objects( reminescent of my high school years of doodling and drawing),while combining odd but delightful vintage images.
The Mediums I am currently using include: artist grade acrylics, Neocolor watersoluble wax pastels, Higgins drawing ink and nibs,Renaissance Gold leafing & Gel Mediums.
Take a moment to visit my etsy boutique and browse the items for sale.
