About the Artist:


Sharon and her husband raised their three kids in Asia. She spent the bulk of her 22 years there as a high school art teacher at an International School. The sights and sounds of Asia were great resources for art. Since returning to the States and Northern Michigan, she has fallen in love with this new landscape. Sharon's favorite medium of soft pastel lends itself to the Great Lakes shoreline and interior rolling hills. Passing on her love of pastels to students brings her great joy.
