Sheryl Zacharia was born and raised in the New York area and has lived in Manhattan all of her adult life. At Southhampton College, she majored in painting but spent many years pursuing a career as a singer-songwriter. She performed in the NYC club circuit for over 10 years and is a published songwriter.
Missing her visual arts roots, she began working in clay which started her on new artistic path. She studied and worked in various Potteries and has exhibited both locally and nationally. Her pieces have been published in magazines and books, most recently in 500 Vases a 2010 Lark Publication, and are in various private collections. She recently completed an eight month extended residency at The Museum Of Arts and Design in NYC.
In 2009 she received a grant from NoMAA, (Northern Manhattan Artists Alliance) with the support of JPMorgan Chase Foundation and UMEZ, which started her on this current body of work.
Having been a long time resident of Greenwich Village she now lives in Northern Manhattan which she fondly refers to as Upstate Manhattan. She has a studio in the Bronx and is currently creating work for upcoming Gallery Shows and Private Sales. She is on the Faculties of Greenwich House Pottery in NYC, The Art School at Old Church in Demarest NJ, The West Side Y in NYC, and has taught numerous workshops including Harvard Ceramics, Truro Center for the Arts, and The Clay Art Center in Port Chester NY.
