Sheri Smith's path to becoming a creative fiber artist has been woven with her enchantment of fibers, art and the outdoors. After moving to the McKenzie River in Oregon in the 70's, she became enthralled with collecting and weaving baskets using pine needles, and later collecting fibers such as Ironwood needles, coconut fibers and shells from her travels to Hawaii.. Since then she has taught her love of the art in private settings, at colleges and local high school.s. Her baskets, jewelry, vessels and floating framed sculptures, I now call "Luminous Boxes", have been shown and sold in Art Galleries throughout the Pacific Northwest.. " I am a TIME WEAVER, weaving in memories of myself. Each piece. I create is keeping one of the oldest crafts of humanity alive." |
