fter working in clay for ten years, Sharon fell in love with stone 40 years ago. Her fascination with the origin of great sculptors led her to Italy, where she worked near the quarries of Michaelangelo. She explored the abstract expression of her ideas, feelings, and philosophies with unlimited freedom through the carving of stone. For Sharon, stone holds the truth of the earth. Her sculptures mirror her spiritual connections to her past and present— Stone Iimparts energy with tactile fluency.

“Carving stone is the language I have been given with which I communicate from my heart the mystery and magic of life’s journey. Stone is a composite of all the elements: fire, earth, air, and water.—the totality of all matter.” I am connected to a universal consciousness.” Sharon has exhibited widely in the USA, and her work has been placed in many private and corporate collections such as Nabisco, ATT&T, General Electric, New Jersey Power, USA Today/Gannet Publications. In addition, she was given the honor of creating an award for the National Foundation of Infectious Diseases. Their recipients include former Surgeon General Dr. Everett Koop, Arthur Ashe, Elizabeth Dole, Dr. Michael DeBakey, Joshua Lederberg. “Shape Of Water” Argentine Onyx, 21”x9”x8"
