CAROLYN SHARP
ABSTRACT ART
About Me...
Through my art, I am interested in portraying the sensory experience of being in the landscape. Each piece is an intuitive expression through which I hope to draw the viewer to experiencing a memory, place of contemplation, or perhaps a sense of wonder.
My process involves laying down multiple layers of paint, ink, collage and other media, where each painting slowly reveals itself and decides where it should be taken.
You, the viewer, complete the process by interpreting the painting as you wish.
