Biography

Curriculum Vitae - Sharon Hurst UA Exhibitions Queen Elizabeth Country Park The Ox Market Chichester St. Peters' Church Petersfield Southampton University Academy Art Centre Dragon Street Gallery Menier Gallery Southwark Moontree Gallery Boscombe Passionart Westbourne The Mine Gallery Carshalton I exhibit work at local Society Exhibitions and take an active part wherever possible. This involves: Organizing exhibitions locally as well as Petersfield Arts and Crafts Society, Liss Triangle Centre Exhibition Midhurst Art Society. Hampshire Art Trail Liphook Art Society The Society of All Artists (SAA) The United society of Artists (UA) I was Chairman of Petersfield Arts and Crafts Society from 2002 to 2006. Since 2003 I have worked closely with Churchers Junior School and more recently Selborne School during their Art Week, bringing the joy and chaos of silk painting and fantasy watercolours to the pupils' classrooms. I have worked with Petersfield Youth Theatre producing scenery for productions (Oliver!? and Robin Hood to name just two), racking my brains to create props fiendishly devised by a brilliant Director! In 2007 I was commissioned to paint an illustration of a legendary Japanese water sprite for a book on Sushi. I have on occasion been invited to judge art competitions at Village Fetes and for Art Societies and have sometimes tied knots in Craft Groups as we have grappled with the difficulties of beading. Since 2006 I have organised, run and participated in several local craft fairs and have started the tradition of a Christmas Fair at the house each year with invited local artists. I currently demonstrate Fantasy Art or Silk Painting to Art and Craft Societies and Adult Education Centres around the country, offering workshops for those who would like a more in depth approach. Member of the Bead Workers Guild Member of the Society of All Artists Member of the United Society of Artists Work can be seen currently at: Academy Art Centre Petersfield Art and Soul Petersfield Art Work Liphook A Coven Of Witches Gallery Burley Sanibel Art and Frame Florida, USA Moontree Gallery Boscombe Images of my artwork are available as Cross Stitch from Heaven and Earth Designs.
