Sharon Wilson Art Bermuda
Sharon Wilson is one of the stellar artists of Bermuda specializing in pastel art on canvas and focussing on capturing the human spirit. Her gallery, known as the Sharon Wilson Art Gallery, is located in Southampton parish and only two minutes walking distance from the Horseshoe Bay Beach.
Wilson is known for her vibrant pastels and encaustic paintings that depict Bermudian life and culture, focusing on themes of community and humanity. Out of all her arts that I have seen, I noticed that many of them are about children and their expressions. I really love the way she has captured live expressions of school students.
Sharon completed her graduation from Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and have been specializing in pastel paintings since many years. Recently, she has also started painting with molten wax which is a 3,000 years old art.
