Christine Sharp

Christine Sharp, a Peabody Award-winning artist based in the Pacific Northwest, primarily paints in oil on wood and acrylic on canvas. Sharp brings energy and imagination to art, from her rich background in Science and Documentary News producing for CNN. Sharp first does a plein-air study. Then back in her studio, Sharp simplifies and reorganizes natural forms into harmonious, abstracted designs, blending vibrant color patterns with striking compositions uniquely crafted with 25 years experience as a professional artist. Her work conveys a profound equilibrium and hope, inviting viewers to experience the restorative power of nature through her dynamic, expressive landscapes. Sharp has had over a dozen solo shows, scores of group shows and exhibitions under her belt. Her collectors include hospitals, universities, and luminaries across the globe. At your own risk, ask Christine about the time she met the Queen and Bob Dylan and Bill Clinton and Bill Gates.
