Cheryl Capezzuti

Cheryl is an artist living in Pittsburgh, who has carved out a name for herself by focusing on several niche art forms:  puppet making, and dryer lint sculptures.  However, her artistic endeavors go well beyond the scope of creating tangible artwork, as she is also an art teacher by day and leads several events in the city that center around her very fun and colorful puppetry.  We talk about how Cheryl got started, her influences, family life, challenges and lessons, as well as lots of laughing about her various fun stories, like the time she was on the Ellen show.  Her reflections on art, the creative process and the connections between us all were beautiful and thought-provoking.  We laughed for a lot of this interview, and we hope you enjoy Cheryl’s infectious and positive energy as much as we did.
