Since early childhood, Sharon realized the importance of art. Her inspirations have come from the real world by finding beauty in the ordinary; an old grocery store, a movie theatre, the haunted face of a refugee, a meadow flower or an arrangement of seed pods and leaves found in a street gutter. Sharon works in oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, and her newest passion, colored pencil.

She became a High School teaching, in English and Fine Art. In the mid-1970’s she earned a Master’s in Painting at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

In 1986, after retiring as a schoolteacher, Sharon began teaching art classes at home and started her own interior design practice. Her works have been exhibited in many renown galleries across the country and owned by many private collectors.
