About Sharon

I am a contemporary portrait & figurative artist. I create fun, joyful, expressive art by merging abstract shapes & patterns with figurative realism.

My work is about switching between intuitive abstract art & a more formal structured approach.

I start by building up layers of thick, colourful marks & I then apply strong bold patterns & often a touch of gold leaf. I’m working intuitively at this stage; I’m just guided by the paint & the patterns. Towards the end of this process it becomes clear to me what sort of figure responds to this background.

I split my time between Somerset & London UK.
