Time too fast

The title of this painting, "Time too fast" comes from a line in a haiku poem. The poem itself was about the movement of the sun across a garden, casting shadows and reminding a couple of lovers that their time together was short and getting shorter. I have taken the one line and reflected on the passage of time on a much grander scale, on the evidence of this in the natural environment, on what it tells us about our place...or moment...in this continuum of time. This painting is framed in a beautiful reclaimed timber floating frame by Mulbury Galley and is ready to hang.

Sharon is a visual artist from Melbourne, best known for her bold use of colour and abstracted figuration. Working predominantly with acrylic paint, she also likes to experiment with oils, pastels, ink and collage. Themes explored through Sharon's work include human rights, social justice, mental illness and feminism.

Sharon says "My work is influenced by many things across the personal, the political and the aesthetic. Whilst I paint landscapes, portraits and abstract paintings, I am most particularly interested in figurative works. Body language, story telling and the diversity of human experience are all themes you will find in my work."

In 2018 she was selected for an international artist residency at Chateau d' Orquevaux in France where she worked on a series of paintings exploring female identity and its intersection with language. Many of the works from this period were exhibited in Melbourne in her "Falling Women" Exhibition. "
Sharon's paintings are held in private collections across Australia, in the UK, France , Singapore, Canada and the USA. 3 of her paintings are held in the permanent collection at Chateau d' Orquevaux.

She is the artist in residence at Liquid Amber Press, a publishing company that works at the intersection of visual arts and poetry, and is represented by Kelli Lundberg Art in Victoria and Satch and Co in NSW
