Biography
Sharon Thirkettle
My work explores the use of colour, light and texture. My brush expresses on canvas my interactions and
reactions to my subjects. Painting is a visual language with colour and brushwork bringing an excitement and energy to my work. I seek to continue exploring this relationship with every subject I paint.
