About the Artist
Sharon DeLaCruz is an international Artist based in Chicago, whose work and accomplishments include Fine Art illustrations and Fiber Textile Arts. Ms. DeLaCruz work is inspired from her personal experiences and by following her dreams and goals in life. Ms. DeLaCruz unveiled her wearable art creations to the Public with her Cherry Belle 2010 Scarf Collection, at the One of a Kind Show and Sale at the Chicago Merchandise Mart on December 3-6, 2009.

Ms. DeLaCruz accomplishments in fine art quilting have earned her many exhibitions and awards, including the landmark 1998 Chicago gallery exhibition and catalog publication, The Chicago Art Scene (Ivy Sundell, Crow Woods Publishing, 1998). In 2005, Sharon received a notable Design Award of Distinction when she was selected and published in the annual, Creativity 34 - Designs from Around the World, recognizing her work with international acclaim through this worldwide distribution publication (David E. Carter, editor, Collins Design, 2005).

Sharon DeLaCruzs unique artwork and inspiration is truly international, from her birthplace on the tropical Island of Oahu, Honolulu Hawaii in 1953, to her artistic training in Europe. While living in Malmo Sweden, for 11 years, Sharon developed her natural artistic talents under the tutelage of one of Swedens finest art illustrators Tjeerd Ackema, who was a favored student of M.C. Escher. Sharon, a graduate of Washington State University, is now applying her strong educational and artistic background in Fine Arts and design to redefine warm wool scarves as wearable pieces of art.

Sharon turned a serious setback around; after being injured from tripping on a broken city sidewalk; she successfully overcame her injuries and painful recovery to triumphantly discover a new approach to marketing her artful products. Sharons prolific creative work is a testament to bring respect and deserved honor to all Artisans who labor with their hands.

Sharon is an advocate for education and public awareness on various issues, and specifically for the appreciation of hand-made work.
