Exhibition Reminiscence at Art2Muse Gallery 10 – 23 December 2024

 

Sharon Candy is a Sydney-based contemporary artist. Predominantly self-taught, Sharon finds freedom in creating on her own terms.

“Painting is an emotional landscape and an artistic process. Granted, I have also had the pleasure to paint with and learn from amazing talented artists: Idris Murphy, Ross Laurie, Jo Bertini, Catherine Cassidy and Tonee Messiah”

Sharon has participated in art residencies with fellow artists in the Hunter Valley, Kelton Plains, Cooma, and Ross River, NT. Sharon’s paintings are held in collections around Australia and internationally, and her works have featured in numerous publications including Inside Out Magazine, Australian House & Garden, SMH Domain Magazine, The Design Files, The Daily Telegraph Home Magazine, and  Adore Magazine.

 

Reminiscence

Sharon Candy’s latest exhibition Reminiscence explores memories of past moments. Large scale graphic paintings in bold colours and interrogating gestures. Imagery is abstracted and composed for compositional harmony.
