CHERYL MCNEILL

At the age of 14 she began to express herself creatively through silk screening and drawing. Cheryl attended Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.

Cheryl had spent nearly her entire life in the rough and tumble world of professional politics. She served on successful campaigns for Governor and Congress around the country, and also on two presidential campaigns. Cheryl was even elected in her own right, winning a seat on the Board of Mayor and Aldermen of Manchester, New Hampshire in 1997. In 2002, Cheryl was recognized for her achievements, and was named a "Rising Star" by Campaigns & Elections magazine.

However, politics may be exciting, but it can also be rigid and draining. Cheryl needed an outlet to express herself creatively. One day she decided she was going to learn more about working with glass, a beautiful and elegant medium that has always intrigued her.

What had started out as a hobby became a career. Cheryl left politics forever, and an entirely new and exciting life had just begun. Cheryl transformed her modest garage into a studio, constructed a blasting booth, and invested most of her savings in paints, glass and supplies.

Less than two years later, Cheryl is showcased her work with interior designers and design showrooms across Arizona. Cheryl also works with countless individuals who have specific designs in mind, to create custom glassworks that is their own unique personal expression.

As Albert Einstein once said, "True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist." Cheryl believes that passion must be at the heart of any endeavor, and Cheryl brings a genuine passion and meticulous devotion to each piece of art she creates. Cheryl's designs are mostly inspired by her surroundings.
