Cheryl Collins

Kayenta, Ivins, Utah 84738   U.S.A.

Born in the 1950's on a ranch in Washington state, award winning artist Cheryl Collins was intuitively drawn to nature, photography, art and poetry. She majored in art and worked with a variety of art mediums before she found her niche in multi media sculpture and combining bronze with fused glass. 

Cheryl has received public art commissions, created outdoor sculpture gardens, and been instrumental in community art projects. 

Inspired by healing art from past cultures, Cheryl designed and created the fused glass "Healing Towers" at the main entrance (outside) the IHC Hospital in St. George, Utah. The three towers of steel and fused glass stand 13-16 feet high, representing healing art from ancient civilizations.

 

"I am grateful for the opportunity to create such powerful and uplifting art, beauty that goes far beyond aesthetics. Glass has a magical quality and these ancient art symbols act as a universal language that can eliminate barriers and erase cultural differences." 

 

Cheryl's sculptures can also be seen at the Desert Rose Labyrinth & Sculpture Garden in Kayenta, Utah. "Sacred Circles" and "Celebration of Life" sculptures stand 15' high at the entrance to the sculpture garden, & at St George Art Museum, the Vista School Monument in Ivins, & Art Around the Corner St George, Utah, & in Ivins Art on Loan program.
