Our Artisans

Made in Greer is fortunate to have some of the best and most talented artisans from all over Arizona’s White Mountains.  We’re very proud of the quality of the products and services that our artisans provide.

Cheryl Ford

Cheryl has enjoyed expressing herself artistically since she was a small child.  In her pre-college years, Cheryl received several awards and recognition for her paintings and drawings. As an art education major at Michigan State University, she was able to experiment in other media including clay, print making and jewelry.

Cheryl enjoys working in paper collage and is known for her whimsical animal “Critter Collage” designs.  She enjoys working with Alcohol Inks and Watercolors and uses these mediums to create bookmarks, greeting cards and wall art.  In addition, Cheryl teaches classes at the shop on watercolors, alcohol inks, critter collages and rock painting.  These classes can be found on our class calendar.

Victoria Frazior

Victoria Frazior has been very involved in art and poetry from an early age. She’s an accomplished artist who has won multiple awards for her work. Her works include paintings, ceramics, jewelry and poetry.  Victoria’s paintings and ceramics are here at Made In Greer and her comprehensive works may be seen at her web site at Painters Portal

Kathy Hamilton

Kathy is a retired nurse who continues her medical involvement through church and volunteer work. She is also an accomplished seamstress and her products displayed at Made In Greer include cloth trees, placemats, baskets, napkins, wine holders, hats, pumpkins, purses, runners, wine bottle holders and more.

Hal Hamilton

Hal has lived in Arizona for over 40 years and has focused on digital photography and digital art since retiring in 2008. His images reflect his love for the nature and landscape of the Southwest. Hal’s digital art techniques include transforming certain photographs with appropriate brush techniques and carefully modifying the digital images for consistent texture, color balance and strong composition. Because he also likes the depth and textures of heavy oil paintings, he prints these images on canvas and hand-textures the prints to achieve the additional dimension seen in oil or acrylic originals. He also produces metal print photography.

Steve Fell

Custom wood turning creations including:  kitchen ware, wine stoppers, cutting bowls and more.

Ielah Pratt

Ielah (pronounced ILA) creates hand-made elk and deerskin items/beadwork.  She was born and raised in Topeka, Kansas but her love of the mountains drew her to the Pikes Peak region of Colorado where she lived for many years.  Ielah developed her skills of working with leather and beads during her “Great Northern Adventure” – 5 years in Minnesota that changed her life.  Because of her interest in the life on the Frontier she met with artisans and learned an art form that she feels has become forever a part of her.

Ielah’s talents also include writing/story telling and during her 13 years living in Iowa she wrote, illustrated and published 3 children’s books.  She credits her grandparents for passing down to her their talent for storytelling and her mother for her drawing talents.

Ielah visited Arizona in 2011 and fell in love with the White Mountains. She has lived in Pinetop since 2016 and enjoys hiking, learning the local history and spending time with her many good friends here.  She considers Pinetop her “forever home”.

Alix Alejandro

Alix is a thrift-store surfer, cat and dog lover, bird lady, desert gardener, retired kindergarten teacher and mother of three. After thirty years teaching, she now has enough time to pursue her longtime passion for sewing and seamstressing with second-hand materials.
