COMMISSIONS
I regularly work to commission and particularly enjoy the collaborative aspect of working with others to create an artwork to fit their brief.
STATEMENT
As a former illustrator my focus has shifted towards creating expressive and captivating portraits and landscapes. I enjoy working at a large scale and experimenting with different techniques, using layers, marks and textures to bring depth and contrast to my artwork allowing me to push the boundaries of realism and explore more painterly passages of paint.
Currently, I'm working on a series of portraits, which has been an exciting and challenging project, each portrait is a unique exploration of capturing the essence of the subject. Available as originals and as limited edition embellished prints on canvas.
I regularly work on commissions and have exhibited with Opal Fine Art, the Wychwood Gallery and the Murray Pitkin Gallery.
Testimonials:
Absolutely delighted with this, Sharon has really captured Bowie here and the rest of the details in the clothing and the background are stunning in real life, photos do not really do it justice. Sharon was great to work with, she took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and sent regular updates and visuals as the piece took shape. I had the pleasure of meeting Sharon on delivery of the finished article she is such a talented and lovely lady, nothing is too much trouble and I would very much recommend her.
Joanne ( a suprise Christmas present for her husband)
Portrait arrived today in perfect condition! He absolutely loves it and says the likeness is amazing. Sometime in the future, I think I will have to commission one of him! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Brannon (portrait as as a surprise Anniversary gift )
Just to let you know, the portrait arrived safely this morning. I'm really pleased with the result and the iterative process you used to develop this, I really appreciated the feedback and discussion on the best picture.

I am the very happy recipient of a wonderful painting by you of me! It is a true likeness, despite having never met me. I am thrilled with it. Thank you very much.
