Sheridan created her own company, A Jeweler’s Art in 1998. She went back to college and earned her Master’s degree in Education and her National Board certification. She opened a studio/jewelry gallery in the historic Paseo Arts District in Oklahoma City in 2009. She continued to focus on custom work and taught a number of jewelry classes while representing local and national contemporary jewelers in her studio/gallery.
Her travels to foreign countries have allowed her to cultivate a broad-ranging view of art from different cultures. She has traveled to Sri Lanka to observe sapphire and moonstone mines, Idar Oberstein Germany to see some of the world’s best stonecutters, the Netherlands, Easter Island, Europe cathedrals, and traveled to meditate in Tibet and India.
In the summer of 2017, Sheridan traveled to Italy to study from Italian masters the ancient technique called chasing and repousse. Her creative urges stimulated, upon returning she decided to close her gallery and focus on her own designs. She works full time in her studio making jewelry and objects of art.
