FOR THE LOVE OF TEXTILES AND ART - Meet the Artist: Sherri Scott

"Throughout my design studies, one profound idea captivated me: the concept of creating a cocoon within our homes. In navigating busy lives, especially during recent years marked by global upheaval, the importance of nurturing our living spaces has become increasingly clear. People yearn to cultivate havens for themselves and their loved ones—places where they can find solace, creativity, and joy.
