Cher is a Jewelry Artisan
Professional Wildlife Photographer & Artist
Cher prides herself on creating artisan jewelry using exquisite gemstones and high quality metals
from around the world. Handcrafted jewelry pieces include wonderfully beaded jewelry using only the finest
stones available. Handcrafted jewelry shines with beautifully polished or matte finish sterling silver. Additions of
polished, or matte finish copper and brass dramatically enhance Cher`s artisan jewelry designs as well. To compliment
her handcrafted jewelry line, 14K gold filled and 14K gold vermeil are also used to add extra sparkle to her
exquisite beaded jewelry and other outstanding creations.
Additionally, Cher and her husband John, are in the process of building a beautiful ranch in
Chandler, Arizona where their menagerie of animals include three adult giraffes and and 18 month old baby born on the ranch, a
pair of grant zebras with 2daughters; Willow is 1 1/2 years old and Sassy is 8 months old, four imported Spanish Horses, a couple of quarter horses and a breeding pair of miniature donkeys
with a filly named Chelcita who is almost a year old. Under advisement and working in conjunction with the Phoenix Zoo, they have built a Savannah
environment for the wild animals that will be ideal for them to live their lives out. John and Cher have traveled
extensively, visiting Alaska, India, Italy, Spain, France, Portugal,Poland, England, Switzerland and many other places. With her camera in-hand, she sought out all nature and wildlife to
photograph. The photographs she has taken have become the inspiration for her art. Throughout time, Cher has joined many wildlife
preservation organizations and is taking every opportunity to observe nature in every way.
