Cheryl has the unique
talent of looking at an object and seeing the art inside of it. Then she uses her paints and brushes to bring out what she sees so that others can enjoy
it too. Lonnie & Annette commissioned Cheryl to paint a mural in their bedroom. It is
unique and beautiful.

creates that you can give as gifts or buy on for yourself! No two are exactly alike as they are all hand painted. Click on a link to take you to

Mandelas are
similar to the warriors shield and were made from hides and other natural
material. Each Mandela is decorated with feathers, wool, furs, leather and other
natural materials found in the local area.
A Mandela is
thought to bring good luck and happiness to the owner. Hanging a Mandela in a
home was a form of protection. Each item used to make the Mandela had a
special meaning for the maker. Native American origin.
