Arts Whistler Backdrop Sessions: Cheryl Massey

TAG: Arts Culture

Posted by: Nikkey Ward

Arts Whistler has kindly let us share these fantastic videos introducing Whistler artists – you can see the original Backdrop Sessions post on The Gallery at the Arts Centre website.

The Gallery at Millennium Place chats with Whistler artist Cheryl Massey.

Cheryl Massey’s modeling career took her all over the world but in the end it was Whistler she decided to call home. Her love for and experience skiing made the move an easy decision and saw her through a stint in snow school. Years later she started working with natural materials and found a passion for weaving’s rich history and connection to time and nature. Now she transforms anything from red cedar bark to kelp into beautiful and unique baskets, hats, wall hangings and more in her cozy Whistler studio.
