Sharon Matisoff How many of us know our life’s passion even before we are old enough to formulate such a thought? As a preschooler with a chubby piece of pastel in her hand, Sharon Matisoff was already on her path. “Pastel was my first language,” she tells us. “My mom painted for pleasure, and pastels were her medium. I thought it was magic that she could translate a face.” She was Matisoff’s first art teacher, and faces were her first subject.
