It has been a lifelong dream for Sharon to live in the Texas Hill Country, in Fredericksburg, and to become a part of the art community.  For years, it was her goal to inspire others and start them on their journey for a bright future.  She challenged children as their art teacher to see the world around them with greater beauty and greater understanding.

After moving to Fredericksburg three years ago, Sharon’s style and process of Artmaking took an exciting new path.  Her medium became Acrylic, and her style moved from Realism to Abstract and Impressionistic Landscapes.  Sharon says her paintings are always and foremost about Color.  Her intention is to connect with the viewer through Color, and sometimes through Symbolism.  Her landscapes almost always focus on water, reflections, and the branches of trees.
 

Her process:  She begins with a particular color palette, but stays open to where the paint might lead her.  Painting to music moves her out of the thinking zone and into the feeling zone.  Decisions regarding Unity and Harmony are made along the way, but, it pleases her most to follow “The Path of her Heart”.
