Sharon Moore Acrylic and Mixed Media
Sharon has painted since she was a young child.
As she has dabbled through her art journey, her curiosity of all things close to animals, whether that be whimsical or serious, has been a focus. She has however, ventured out over the last two years to explore the abstract world of the acrylic pour - researching the process, its science, and enjoying the varied outcomes of each project. For her it is both liberating and astonishing. Letting go of the confines of portraiture work is viewed as a blessing and a mind-shift worthy of future exploits.
Sharon currently paints in both Dunsborough and Williams. In Williams she exhibits at Millbrook Studio on the Williams River. Her studio there has been a stable within the Millbrook Homestead. She also has a marvellous studio at her residence in Dunsborough. She is looking at the Margaret River Open Studio opportunity as a means of connecting with other artists and to promote her work regionally as she establishes herself firmly within her Dunsborough domain.
"I do most of my portraiture work in Dunsborough and have previously left the messy but lovely work of acrylic pouring in the prepared studio at Millbrook. This year I have established a studio at my home in Dunsborough to accommodate my pours and portraiture equally."
"I love nothing more than talking to people about my art and how I create each piece. I especially love sharing the liberating process of the pour."
"This will be my first Open Studios in the Margaret River Region, although I have lived here for the last 8 years.
"I strive to share with and connect people and subjects, so the philosophy of MRROS along that vein is very close to my heart. I hope to demonstrate and have people participate in a pour or two over the course of the event. This can be spontaneous or organised on the day if time"
Sharon has a background in psychology and enjoyed a career facilitating organisational and community change. She has used art and drawing as vehicles to create understanding and promote important conversations for those struggling with change.
