Award winning
professional artist, Sharron is collected world wide and in hundreds
of corporate and private collections. Sharon has had over 20 years
of studio experience as an artist, a full time professional for 11
of those years. She has had numerous one-on-one intensive seminars
with skilled professionals with a combined experience of scores of
years working in pastel, acrylic, photography, printmaking and other
media. Several of her floral and abstract series are created on 100%
archival cotton paper, using gesso and oil pastel or acrylic. First
she paints the blank paper with gesso; then the imagery is drawn
with oil pastel. she then places numerous layers of materials, often
obscuring (or destroying) the imagery completely. Scrapers and
cloths are used to adjust and remove some of the layers, and in the
process the piece takes shape, allowing light to come through the
piece, creating dimensionality, texture and interesting abstractions
(even when the subject may be representational). This layering is
often repeated several times until the finished piece emerges.
High Desert Gallery & Custom Framing of Central Oregon is honored to
represent Sharron Bliss exclusively in Central Oregon.
