By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the second of two 12-piece exhibitions of works by American landscape painter Sharon Will (born 1956 in Michigan, USA).

Sharon got her start in the arts through training and working, in the commercial art field. Several years were spent in graphics, illustration, and freelancing before breaking from advertising, all the while studying painting. Beginning in oil, then followed by decades of working exclusively in pastel, she now paints in both mediums, with an emphasis on plein air painting. Landscapes, still lifes, and figures provide the needed variety, yet she is consistently drawn back to the landscape for her major inspiration.

 

Over thirty years of painting have won Sharon numerous National and International Awards including, Paint the Parks, IAPS Prix de Pastel, as well as a featured article in American Artist Magazine. For her achievements in pastel, she has been inducted into the Master’s Circle of the International Association of Pastel Societies and is a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of the West Coast. In addition to painting, Sharon teaches in oil and pastel and runs a custom framing business from her studio.
 

Currently, Sharon's originals are available through Michigan galleries: Mullaly's 128 in Elk Rapids and Mackinac's Little Gallery on Mackinac Island, as well as her home/studio by appointment srwartist@comcast.net. Prints are now made available through Fine Art America, and sketches through Daily Paint Works.

 

Memberships include the Great Lakes Pastel Society, Pastel Society of the West Coast, Oil Painters of America, and American Impressionist Society.
