THE STORY
Sherlyn Sykes
Crafting from a young age with my mother and father was a delightful experience that fostered my love for painting, sketching, and crafting handmade items. I always dreamed of having my own store. I started out very small, in my parents den, making bracelets, soy candles and spray painting vases. I can remember my first big sale was a few pearl sets for a wedding party. The feeling of knowing I took part in enhancing someone's beauty for their special day was so very rewarding.
Down through the years my business took a back seat to teaching preschool and raising my son. The journey was very fulfilling and gave me great joy.
Still, I had my dream floating in the wind.
As years went by, I was commissioned to create oil and acrylic pieces and explore the art of graphic designs. My inspiration comes from having a love for nature. I feel one should always appreciate the colors and textures God has so creatively designed for the world to see. As I spend time in Gods open fields of light, color, and sounds, I allow my senses to capture those colors and textures that bring forth unique pieces of art.
God has graced me with endurance to embrace and overcome life's many challenges. I knew once I made it through, I would stop at nothing to continue working towards my dream. Its never too late. As long as you put God in front of it, move your feet, your dream will come to fruition.
