Sheran Simo

Sheran considers herself a world explorer, as she was raised in an Air Force family.  Much of her life was spent moving from place to place, often with little that wasn’t stored in boxes.  Crafting came easily as it was most easily portable and accessible.

She comes from a very talented family and continues to use the skill and love of creating instilled in her as a child.  While she has transitioned to jewelry – her early years of creativity included macramé, lapidary, cake decorating, crochet and cross stitch. 

After starting as a bead artist in 2007, her work continues to evolve, with the addition of wire wrap in 2008 and chainmail in 2009.  She added metalsmithing after studying with Jewelry Artist Andréa Jackson in 2010 and incorporates the various techniques into pieces currently on sale at the Gallery on the Square.

Her work is known both nationally and internationally.  Her wire wrap took 1st Place in 3-D Design in the Central Indiana Artists Art Fair in the Spring of 2009.  In addition, she was accepted as a juried member of the International Guild of Wire Jewelry Artists and became a member of Indiana Artisans in 2009.  Her work can be found exclusively at Gallery on the Square in Danville, Indiana.
