The Art Of Sharon J Roe

 

I was born in a small town in upstate New York to a family of 10 (yes Catholic). As a child I began to put my feelings, as images, into art. I discovered that this was an exciting way to save my thoughts. My teachers in habit, however, felt differently and sent me to countless afternoons of detention (Yes Catholic School).

 As I got older I found my love of art would overpower everything. Creating art was no longer a leisure pursuit but a necessity. My artwork has been sold in many corners of the country, shown in magazines, art shows, and used in classroom studies. I am now illustrating a children's book for publication. I have tried most forms of art but find graphite drawing to be the most rewarding because of the detail I can achieve.

Humor has been a release valve for me and is evident in some of my work. My cartoon drawings come out of the many hysterical hours with friends and events that put an image in my mind that simply must be put on paper. I was not going to include them in the website but a special request changed my mind.

 I have felt a deep love of the arts for as long as I can remember. I find a drawing in every face I see, and every emotion I feel.  When these feelings connect with the canvas the rewards are endless. I know that creating art is the best way of displaying the inner thoughts of the mind.
