Based in Victoria, BC, Sharon is a Canadian artist who loves capturing the spirit of places. She has been in Skagaströnd for one month and will be here for another, soaking in both the dramatic Icelandic landscape and the creative energy of the artists around her.
With the studio situated right next to the water, she loves watching the ever-changing waves and swirling seafoam. Long walks exploring the coastline before or after her time in the studio have become part of her routine, allowing her to take in the shifting light and raw beauty of the landscape. Sharon has been captivated by the slow reveal of spring—watching the snow melt to uncover bursts of color, witnessing the dramatic shifts in light as storms roll in from the sea, and looking up each night in hopes of catching the dancing Northern Lights. As the weather warms, you’ll find her outside with her sketchbook, capturing quick impressions before translating them into larger watercolor paintings back in the studio. Every day brings something new to experience, shaping the way she sees and translates the world onto paper.
