Biography:

 For over thirty years, Sharon has been instructing art in one form or another to all age groups. While a teacher in a private school in the Annapolis Valley, she developed an art program that allowed her to share her love of art with her students. As Art Department Head, she taught the fine art high school curriculum as well as the middle school program. The philosophy that she carries to all her classes is to not only teach the skills to advance the abilities of the students, but most importantly use art to help raise their self-esteem.
 The summer of 2006 took Sharon to The Gambia, Africa where she enjoyed sharing her skills with children of limited art instruction. The experience compelled her to venture out to pursue her own work and style. She enjoys working with watercolours, acrylics, but mostly oil.
 Her love of traveling took her to the USA where she became a certified Bob Ross Instructor in the wet on wet oil technique . She now teaches daylong workshops as well as tutorials in this technique.
 Sharon now resides in Chester and when she isn’t teaching students of all ages or doing commissions, she combines the beautiful south shore scenery with still-life of the local boating community.
