Cheryl is the owner and lead event artist at Studio 928, which is the culmination of many years of melding together art, technology, and teaching into a business she and her clients LOVE simply because ART IS FUN! Studio 928 recently launched its most anxiously awaited service with the addition of team-building, collaborative art experiences.
