Sharron has been described as a contemporary still life painter. Her works reflect her love of still life subjects plus crystal and glass. It depicts the crispness, freshness and transparency of watercolors. She enjoys exploring the diffused facets, light reflections, interesting shadows and the clarity of glass and crystal combined with nature’s bounty and unique objects. A farmer’s market is a treasure trove!
