Cherise Hoak has been working in stained glass since her move from California to Massachusetts in 1999.
She and her husband
spent 2 1/2 years building their house in Berkley, Massachusetts where they now reside.
Cherise started working
with stained glass and graduated to kiln fired glass work which she has quite a passion for. It feeds
her creative side more
because she loves working in the abstract form.
She also does a lot of recycling of glass and uses it in her art work.
She has always been environmentally aware of her obligation to mother earth and she continually strives to make a difference.
Aside
from her glass work she also writes poetry and is published. This, of course, is her first love but it does not pay
the bills....
