We currently have no works on display in the gallery by Sharon but do check back for future new works from her.
"I think that painting and drawing are about some sort of organisation, be that emotional or more detached. Drawing from observation helps us become sensitive to the composition of the world around us, and i like to draw in different ways and forge a personal dialogue with what I see and feel around me. I like the rigour of focussing intensely on what is in front of me but also the poetry of what happens between looking, feeling, imagining and remembering. I think the most exciting drawings and paintings communicate a sense of personal liberation and connection with the world."
