Twenty years ago Sheryl Ellinwood started working with glass on a dare! Today her work is represented in galleries, as well as both public and private collections throughout the US.

Sheryl holds a Masters degree in both glass and sculpture from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and her work has won various awards including the Glass Art Society’s Award for Excellence.

Sheryl has a passion for books and travel. Every few years she travels to another part of the globe to bring new ideas and inspiration to her work. You’ll see the influence of trips to Africa and Southeast Asia reflected in several of her pieces.  Her sculptural work is based on interests as diverse as metaphysics and anthropology. Guaranteed, she is always at work on some new idea!
