Cheryl Tuttle

Jeweler, PotterMember Since 2005

Cheryl S Tuttle is a Connecticut-based mixed-media artist and art educator whose creative work is deeply inspired by nature, spirituality, and the connection between our inner and outer worlds.

With a B.S. in Fine Art, Commercial Design and applied art from Central Connecticut State University and an M.S. in Education, Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Saint Joseph, Cheryl spent many years teaching art before retiring from the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System.

Her own artistic practice crosses many mediums, including painting, collage, encaustic, book arts, ceramics, sculpture, fiber, metalsmithing, photography, and jewelry. Rather than limiting herself to one material or technique, she enjoys allowing the idea behind a piece to determine how it is created.

Nature is at the heart of much of Cheryl’s work. Forests, trees, natural textures, found objects, symbolism, and the changing seasons often become both materials and metaphors in her art. Her work explores themes of transformation, memory, resilience, spirituality, and our relationship with the natural world.

Cheryl brings together her experience as an artist and educator to create workshops and experiences that encourage creativity without intimidation. Her teaching emphasizes exploration, curiosity, and finding 

She believes creativity is something we all carry within us—and that making art can be a powerful way to slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and listen to what is waiting to emerge.
