Sharon’s paintings in oil and mixed media evoke a subconscious or dreamlike feeling through her choice of colors and subject matter. Painting in both narrative and abstract styles in a variety of sizes, she draws upon her childhood memories and her spiritual concerns of the impacts of climate change.
