Carolyn Sharp 

A CANADIAN ARTIST, INSPIRED BY THE DRAMA, BEAUTY & MOVEMENT OF NATURE

My paintings are an inventory of experiences felt by my deep connection to the lands and waters of Southern Ontario. I’m inspired by raging lakes & rivers, dramatic skies, wide open fields and bewildering cloud formations.

​

My work always begins from an abstract expressionist perspective, sometimes remaining in that form, sometimes moving into impressionism. It is my hope that the viewer will feel compelled by the paintings, experience a place of contemplation, a sense of wonder, and hopefully a connection with my art.
