GUEST ARTIST
SHARON SOBRASKE
Media: FINE ART PAINTING
Artist Statement:
In Sharon Sobraske’s own words:
“I have always been an artist. If someone were to ask me how long I have been painting, I would say, ‘most of my life’. I began as a child with crayons and pencil drawings and have painted either in my mind or on paper and canvas. A “perfect” day for me is a day spent painting.
“I have studied with Robert Burridge, Roger Robinson, Tom Fong, John Barnard, Donna Zagatta, Eric Peterson, Jeanette Wolfe, Sally Tippman, Betsy Dillard Stroud, Dale Laitenin and many others.
“I love to ‘experiment’ so I have spent time exploring watercolors, acrylics, collage, mixed media and oil. There is nothing that I will not try and excel at! I have had paintings in numerous juried shows over the years and have work in several private collections. In 2010 I became a juried member of the Central Coast Watercolor Society and in 2013 I became a juried member of the International Society of Acrylic Painters and won third place honors for my painting. I was also a juried resident artist in Studios on the Park in Paso Robles, CA for several years.
It is my sincere hope that you will enjoy viewing my paintings as much as I have enjoyed painting them for you!”
