Sharon's
brightly colored images are inspired from the beach and garden creating
both real and imaginary. "There's a serenity and peacefulness
about the color of blue that I love to capture in my paintings,
giving them an expression of freshness and spontaneity." Sharon's
style lies between realism and impressionistic, realistic, but not
photographic.
