Sharon Weiser, who grew up in Wisconsin, began painting as a child and went on to receive her Bachelor of Fine Arts and K-12 teaching certificate from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire.
After living for twenty years in Phoenix, Arizona, Weiser returned to the Midwest where she currently teaches painting and drawing at her studio.
Clearly, the time Weiser spent in Arizona left its mark artistically as she continues to create her joyfully close-up cactus compositions.
Painting in either oils or acrylics, Weiser works primarily from her own photos – cropping, replacing, re-positioning or enlarging forms to expertly compose her dynamic light-filled canvases.
It is bold colors, a remarkable attention to detail and a singular sense of design that makes her paintings stand apart.
Her artwork also continues to evolve as her curiosity compels her to keep experimenting with different color palettes, subjects and ideas.
Her choice of southern colors reflects the beauty of her surroundings, adding depth and almost a fluorescence to desert life.
