“I enjoy painting and creating an image where once there was a blank piece of paper or canvas. My style is an evolving process allowing me to explore different painting mediums and subject matter and new techniques in painting. I work in watercolour, watercolour on Yupo paper, acrylics, collage, and alcohol inks. I love intense colour and often select subject matter for painting that works for this style. Landscapes of all types especially the mountains hold my Interest along with paintings of flowers and vegetation.” Sharron has been a practicing Pharmacist in the Calgary area for 45 years and owned her own Pharmacy, Calgary Place Pharmacy for 14 years.

“Precision has always been a fascination. My works are created entirely from memory, which is unfortunate, because my memory of what a human body looks like is apparently a circle on top with five lines coming out of it.
Through my process I develop original interpretations of the world around me. By simplifying and reducing, I can showcase the essential truth of any subject — that at its core, everything can be expressed in five lines or fewer. My loop-da-loops demonstrate a mastery of the continuous curve. My snowflakes contain multitudes.
So, as you can no doubt tell, I am an artist. Maybe? Probably... Yes, probably.”
