Sharon's process begins by painting loose canvas with oil paints, blending and shaping color swaths that will become a six-yard long palette.This palette is then subjected to a series of destructive processes, such as shooting it with a 12 gauge shotgun (at a gun club) and sanding, ripping or tearing it. After that, the canvas is cut and stapled and glued in pieces onto a second painted stretched or otherwise stiffened canvas. The whole process is very time-consuming but satisfying, a slow march uphill with the aim of creating a painting that will draw the viewer with unusual textures, bright colors and arresting images.
