December Artist

Watercolor & acrylic by Sharon Sobraske from Atascadero

"I began painting just before I turned 60 and have not stopped a day in between. I’m mostly self-taught and hope I can be somewhat of an 'inspiration' to those people whose life may just be beginning at 60!"

 Sharon has loved art her entire life but put off painting until after raising her family. She expressed her creativity through decorating, quilting and flower arranging. She feels that all the experiences have been building and leading to the point where she is now.

Sharon took drawing classes and watercolor instruction and has been producing beautiful watercolors for the last 5 years. Her love of nature is apparent in her vibrant paintings of flora. Flowers glow with light and intricate details while still feeling loose and free.

Sharon paints nearly every day, which may explain her phenomenally quick mastery of the medium. “I feel completely dedicated to painting and it is what I should have been doing my whole life.”

In her relatively short career, she has had paintings in numerous juried shows, won awards, and has work in several private collections.
