about sharon
With over 25 years’ experience as a painter, illustrator, graphic designer and musician, I combine my talents and am dedicated to giving you my best as an original creative thinker and maker.
I received my first artist’s tools in a box of Crayola crayons at age 3. I found my early bearings as a colourist by combining magenta and mahogany and imagining colors as real, something one could feel…ice blue was supposed to be icy, Prussian Blue had that battalion feeling.
I graduated college and hit the streets of New York City with my portfolio in hand. Creative jobs were scarce around then, but I landed a job as an editorial/production assistant at a publishing house in Westchester County, NY. After that short stint, which gave me lots of valuable knowledge and hands-on application in design and typesetting, I worked in conference and tradeshow planning and development, as well as direct mail marketing and public relations. I freelanced illustration and design during those times, whilst working within a corporate environment. I consider myself well-rounded in both the creative and business sides of the arts and their practical and creative applications. See my online portfolio here.
My other passion is as a singer/songwriter. Check out some of my musical endeavors here.
I am happy to provide you with my talent, knowledge and experience.
