SHARON GAINSBURG

After 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.”
