http://www.5AcreArts.com/5AcreArts/CherylBaker.html Cheryl Baker grew up in a family that celebrates their artistic expression. From an early age she was encouraged to find her own special artistic voice. Always a writer, she worked in television, radio, and then went on to a ‘real’ job in corporate training. But Cheryl’s love of history and folk lore led her to explore various ‘old crafts’ until she determined that traditional basket weaving satisfied her artistic need for color, texture and meticulous hand work. Cheryl created beautiful Appalachian and Shaker baskets for juried shows, specialty catalogs and reproductions for museum shops for eight years before moving to Arizona. One trip to the Glendale Bead Museum was all it took for her to fall in love with beads and the jewelry making process. Ten years later, Cheryl is a certified Precious Metal Clay (PMC) fine silver artisan and revels in the freedom of designing with color, shape and form. Cheryl retired from the corporate world a few years ago and now enjoys teaching PMC courses, chainmaille workshops and beading classes at Creative Destination, an awe-inspiring bead shop in Mesa, Arizona. Cheryl is designing kits and instructions for numerous original pieces and they will be available soon. Cheryl’s artwork was accepted and published in the Premier edition of the PMC Guild's publication, “The PMC Guild Annual”. The Annual was sent to all Guild members in October 2007. Congratulations Cheryl! Cheryl’s jewelry was exhibited in conjunction with the 2008 PMC conference at Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana. The exhibit, titled 57/1: Artists from the Premier Edition of the PMC Guild Annual, opened May 12, 2008 and ran through August 1, 2008. Look for Cheryl at Art Unraveled, a week-long mixed media event held in Phoenix, Arizona. She’ll see YOU there! http://www.5AcreArts.com/5AcreArts/CherylBaker.html#0 a059672b-c4db-408b-aae8-dbf02f2035fc http://www.5AcreArts.com/5AcreArts/CherylBaker_files/Media/WM-4MulticolorNecklacesCrop/thumb.jpg http://www.5AcreArts.com/5AcreArts/CherylBaker_files/Media/WM-4MulticolorNecklacesCrop/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px;
