About Me
I'M Sharon GuY
My art is an expression of my sense of
awe as I admire our illuminated world.
While I quietly observe and study land, water, and skies, the ordinary
world around me is transformed by light and shadow into the sublime. My goal is to transcend literal
representation and express the spirit and spark of life in nature and in our human
spaces. When I paint historic homes,
rustic barns, and antique cars, I share the beauty of their fine craftmanship
and my sense of nostalgia for simpler times.
While painting birds and animals I intend to convey the peacefulness and
mystery of the living creatures’ inner beings.
I see myself not as an imitator of the world that I observe, but an
interpreter of it. My painting technique
involves simplification, abstraction, soft edges, and attention to patterns and
shapes to create an impression of what I saw and felt. My art is a way to share my experience of the
healing power of nature with whoever stops to look. 
My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
