02 / MEET SHARON

The artist.
The person.

A portfolio of colour, observation and connection.

Sharon’s work invites a closer look: at the sweep of a leaf, the character of a face, the energy of a market, and the landscapes that hold our attention.

Here, her art sits alongside glimpses of the person and the process behind it.

A closer look
at the making.

Brushes, colour, and a painting taking shape. The studio offers another way into the work—one mark at a time.

A life of service.
A lifelong love of art.

THE CREATIVE LIFE

From Brussels
to the world.

Art has been a lifelong passion for Sharon. During her time in Brussels, she undertook professional art training and classes in 1994–1995, developing her practice alongside her diplomatic work.

She began exhibiting while in Brussels and has since exhibited in many countries around the world. Her paintings form another part of a life shaped by service, travel and creative expression.

This collection brings together her observations of people, plants, landscapes and everyday life, alongside a glimpse of the studio where her work took shape.
