Art has been a part of my soul ever since I
can remember. My earliest inspirations came from my grandmother's jewelry
boxes. She had stacks of boxes filled with gems and antique jewelry that
fascinated me. My love of jewelry and the arts has led me into creating
beaded body adornment. I combine Native American and Victorian beadweaving
techniques with contemporary materials to produce my creations. My tools
are simple ones, needles, threads, suede and a palette of beads and
stones. These allow me to literally paint with my beads. My fascination
with their texture, shape and color hold me captive. I prefer to work
spontaneously letting the beads dictate where I go within the design, so
rarely are my creations sketched out. While creating a piece of jewelry
I'm often inspired by colors and shapes. Egyptian jewelry is also a source
of inspiration as are vintage designs too. My desire is to design a piece
of art that is completely wearable. Structure fascinates me as much as
color does. Taking these tiny glass beauties and making something strong
and beautiful is very satisfying. Each component plays an important role
in holding the design together. I've recently come to realize that not
only is beadwork "art", but in creating it I use math, history, and
architecture in my work. Sherry was voted one of the top 10 instructors in the United States by Bead & Button magazine. She lectures and teaches throughout the world. She has been published and has written articles for several well-known magazines. Her work has been featured on the covers of trade magazines and catalogs and is the co-author of the Art of Bead Embroidery with artist & friend Heidi Kummli and Sensational Bead Embroidery by Sherry Serafini. Sherry’s beaded art is known internationally and has been worn by Grammy winner Melissa Etheridge, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Lenny Kravitz, pro golfer Michelle Wie and singer Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas. |
