Artist Bio: Artist and metalsmith, Cheryl Eve Acosta, holds an MFA in Jewelry & Metals from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and a CAD/CAM design certificate from the Gemology Institute of America (GIA) in NYC. She is based out of the Kansas City Crossroads based in MO. Her sculptural jewelry has been shown at the National Museum of Women in D.C. in the show called ""Heavy Metal / Women to Watch"", the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Georgia Museum, SOFA Chicago, Cheongju International Craft Biennale, Le Arti Orafe, among others. Her work has been featured in numerous publications including 500 Earrings, Dreaming Jewelry and Art Jewelry Today 3, and published her book Hidden in Nature. She has created custom designs including former secretary of state Madeleine Albright and is currently creating a 10ft art installation for University Health hospital in KC.

Cheryl Eve Acosta’s sculptural jewelry is inspired by the Cycle of Life specifically marine biology. She is known for her unique copper fused fabric and glass processes, transforming mundane materials into one of a kind adornment. Both her sculptural art and jewelry capture elements of birth, growth, to the fossilization of corals; a distinctive theme to her storyline. The French/Caribbean native highlights both the impermanence and fragility of endangered natural forms in the dying ecosystem with the delicateness of her jewelry.
