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. 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.
