This endangered gorilla sits with her baby atop two ceramic books: Silent Spring and Gorillas in the Mist. A butterfly, as a symbol of the most delicate among us, is perched on the edge of the top book.








DISCLAIMER: This page is not complete. I have just uploaded all the images and am at home, this very minute, reorganizing this page. But, I have had requests to get this done, so here it is. Check back in a day or two for the new organization on this page.

Sculptural animals and animal images decorate most of Sheryl's work. The use of Sheryl's techniques of hand built additions means that each piece is unique. Some items shown on this site may have been sold but new work is continually created and you may order like work. Please see Commissions page or Pottery Order Page.

We have had requests to organize this site by the animals and not by the form. If you are searching for cups/bowls/plates/teapots, etc please use the search engine.

If you do not find what you want, please e-mail and ask for availability or request a commission. Thank you.
