Mixed Media Gallery
Nature is Sharla's muse for abstracted forms and color exploration. She absorbs nature through the lens of a camera and close observation of her environment, each offering visual clues for the next work.
Her works are developed layer by layer often starting with a printing press or painted background. Sharla teaches creative thinking using visual vocabulary that helps intuition inform composition and design.
