Sharon’s works are often the trigger for stories to develop and flourish. Beginning with fluid painted strokes or simple lines, she builds up forms through intricate line work and detailing, creating imaginary landscapes and populated with strangely familiar creatures. The sea has always had a strong influence on Sharon, and this affinity is expressed in her work through the recurrence of waves, boats and aquatic birds as subject matter. In most of her work, she reprises these themes, though with a looseness in style that allows space for randomness and unexpected figures to emerge from her initial application of paint. The works encourage the viewer to explore their own relationships – with each other, themselves and the world around us.
