My name is Tanya Cherepova. I am a studio jewelry designer and silversmith, state-juried member of League of New Hampshire Craftsmen.

My design company is named CREALM, which stands for Creative Realm.

• I make jewelry for people who want to look and feel different.
• I help my customers express their individualities through a wearable piece of art.
• I follow my motto Always Different! to create one-of-a-kind designs

I received both formal (Master's) and informal training, taking classes from instructors educated in the US, Italy and Australia. An avid international traveler, I draw my inspiration from diverse cultures around the world. A portfolio of almost 3000 original designs is a result of innate creativity, acquired trade skills and hard work.

As a small business owner, I take part in the local and nationwide organizations promoting small businesses - Chamber of Commerce

I utilize a variety of ideas, techniques and materials to make my jewelry impressive and desirable. Working primarily in gold, sterling and combination of these metals, I also incorporate in my designs semiprecious stones and organic materials - pearls, corals and amber.

Commissions - one-of-a-kind and limited edition designs - are an important part of my business. I enjoy designing jewelry on my own as well as collaborating with clients.

My works are on display at 15 retail galleries along the East Coast - from New Hampshire to Florida - as well as museum stores at Currier Museum of Art and Peabody Essex Museum

I participated in various exhibitions:

• Annual CraftWear exhibition
• Sunapee Fair Newbury, NH
• Continuing the Tradition exhibition;
• League of NH Craftsmen, Concord, NH
• Annual Member's exhibition
• Sharon Arts Center, Peterborough, NH
• All Creatures Great and Small exhibition
• League of NH Craftsmen Gallery, Concord, NH
• Alumni Exhibit, New Hampshire Institute of Art, Manchester, NH
