Sharon is a mixed media artist creating collages, finely crafted gourd art, jewelry, and whatever else strikes her fancy.

Sharon is a member of Hoosier Artist Gallery in Nashville and Art Alliance Brown County. Her gourd art, mixed media painting, and jewelry can be seen at the Hoosier Artist Gallery, Gallery on the Green in Nashville, and by appointment in Sharon's home studio.

She is a graduate of Herron School of Art in Indianapolis, Indiana, and an Occupational Therapist with an MS degree in mental health practices. Sharon has always created her art and used creative media with patients and clients as appropriate through the years. Many have shared that the arts have given them some of their best and most exciting learning. Sharon is a firm believer that art and the creative process are healing.

She is also a trained SoulCollage® facilitator who would love to work with you or your group. SoulCollage® is an intuitive process for exploring your inner Soul Self and your creative nature by making a deck of personalized cards. It is a fantastic process that will fascinate you as you make each card.

She teaches beginning SoulCollage® classes, gourd art, and mixed media/ collage painting classes and would be interested in working with special interest groups with SoulCollage®:

• Women's groups.

• Cancer support/survivors [of which Sharon is one].

• Special health needs.

• Grief.

• Personal growth and transitions.

SoulCollage® classes are taught in the Traditional Arts Building in Nashville; with enough students, Sharon is also available to come to your group. She can provide all-day workshops, individual sessions, weekend retreats, and 1/2 day, classes.
