BIOGRAPHY
Sharlene is an award-winning artist who paints primarily in acrylics and oils, but also ventures into watercolour and printmaking. Light is an integral part of her work, whether to enhance and define the composition of a still life or to capture sunlight in nature. Her series of Driftwood paintings and Tropical Leaves paintings are perfect examples.
Early in her career, Sharlene studied with Alice Saltiel, SFCA. She has taken workshops with many notable artists including Alan Wylie, Brent Lynch, Susanne Northcott, Mark Heine, Catherine Moffat, Noah Layne and Liz Wiltzen. She has also attended courses at Victoria College of Art and Vancouver Island School of Art.
Sharlene is an elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists, an signature member and Past President of the Victoria Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists and was an active juried member of the International Guild of Realism until 2015. She has been an associate artist at the Coast Collective Art Centre since 2009 and one of five Directors of the Centre from 2010-2013.
