Hello, I'm Sharon,

I'm a watercolor artist and calligrapher. I have been an artist for most of my life. Originally from Illinois I now live in Cumming, Georgia. Having been raised by parents who were both artists, I was acquainted with many different art mediums at an early age. I studied Graphic Design at Illinois State University, The University of Illinois, and the American Academy of Art in Chicago. However, in 1984 I chose a different career path and two years later earned a certificate in Dental Hygiene from the University of Texas. After several successful years of working in the Field of Dentistry I am now retired and can enjoy more time painting and lettering. With the launch of my first Skillshare class I am now embarking on ways to share with others what I have learned throughout my many years of creating art.

Although I have worked with several mediums, watercolor has become my medium of choice.
My creative process involves pairing my watercolor painting with my calligraphy and lettering skills to create greeting cards and personalized works of art. Although botanicals in various styles are the dominant subject matter in my portfolio, I also enjoy painting animals. You can see some of my past and present work by visiting my website here. Over the past few years I have participated in the many lettering and painting challenges on Instagram. You can follow me on Instagram here. This has been a wonderful way to share and learn from others with similar interests. In addition to Instagram I have my own channel on YouTube featuring my lettering and painting style.

Thanks for taking time to read a bit about me.
