The art I create in my studio is a consequence of my faith, my lived experiences, what I feel, and what flows from my heart as I paint. I really adore the word 'heartwork' - apart from the slight reference to my surname, I think this word captures my process perfectly; I use beautiful colour harmonies to create emotive, heartfelt artworks that allow you to reflect on your own story, to finish the train of thought, to remember a time or place, and to explore and feel the emotions they instill. Artworks that are relatable and evoke a sense of calm, that force you to exhale...and bring you hope.
I have been blessed to have several pieces featured on "The Block" TV Show, as well as in Grand Designs Australia magazine, and have been named a Finalist and Honorary Mention in several renowned Art Prizes.
With collectors from all over the world, I consider it an absolute privilege to "...paint stories evoking light and hope" for so many of you.
Apart from here, my work can be found for sale online at The Online Art Gallery, Bluethumb, and Art Lovers Australia. Original artworks can also be found in person and online at Aspire Gallery in Brisbane, as well as Rose St Trading Co and Art Sanctuary Gallery in Melbourne. A curated Print Collection is also available through Artist Lane, Freedom Australia, and Temple and Webster.
Feel free to browse my Sold Gallery and get in touch if you'd like to discuss a commission.
Finally, I'm so grateful you've found me here.
I truly do hope you find that special piece to encourage and inspire you; something that resonates and calls your name...that you'll want to cherish and give a forever home to.
Sharon.
ABOUT
Hi there and welcome. Thanks for stopping by. I'm a palette knife artist based on the outskirts of Canberra, Australia, not far from the South Coast, which is my all time favourite place to be. I have a home studio which I wander in and out of most days, amongst the busy life and challenges of being a wife and mum. I had been working as an Interior Designer and Colour Consultant up until 2018 but after some health issues, returned to my love of painting as a form of Physio, and haven't put the palette knife down since.
Influences emerge from my love of all things sea, land and sky. I have views to the Brindabella ranges and a protected nature reserve within walking distance so am constantly inspired by trees, mountain ranges, beautiful sunsets and cloud formations. My absolute passion though is the South Coast nearby and I love gaining inspiration from lush headlands and breezy shorelines, and the light that refracts through moody clouds and coastal waters.
The scenic roadtrips to the coast (and often also to my hometown of Wagga Wagga) are a huge inspiration for my popular roadscapes, often with my signature pink road...I love pink!
My figurative beachscapes are also popular, capturing quiet, precious moments alone on a beach in reflection, or walking the sand with loved ones...they resonate with many and don't last long.
