Although her paintings are primarily abstract in nature, Sharon writes, “These paintings are self portraits; maybe not as most would instantly recognize as such, but for me, these organic forms are reflective of our own image. The bonds between animal and plant are vital for survival but the connection is deeper than sustenance. The earth is our body and its water, our fluids. Each painting is a silent visual poem to nature but they are a search for something deeper than the form.” Sharon’s artistic style captures dynamic and layered energy. and marks. The passions, power and peace found beyond organic forms are depicted in these images. Through each painting, the viewer is encouraged to explore their own connection to life and sacred natural world.
