Sharon's art journey began in 2010 when she discovered acrylic and oil paints. She is a self taught Canadian artist, and an Exhibiting Member of The Federation of Canadian Artists, who enjoys creating, experimenting, practicing and learning about painting and drawing by attending local workshops around the province British Columbia where she lives. In the summer of 2015, faced with a difficult decision due to a growing family and a big move, Sharon decided to stop painting until the children were at an age where she could have more time to pursue her creative work. However. . . 'Only a month after I had made peace with that decision I uncovered a past gift of soft pastels that had been given to me in 2013 by my late Aunt. I had no idea what potential pastels held. Tucked away in an art cabinet all these years I heard them calling me. My curiosity got the best of me as I opened the beautiful wooden box filled with a rainbow of pastel sticks. I researched the brand and found they were fancy and expensive, which intimidated me, so back in the art cabinet they went, untouched. A few weeks later that box was screaming to have me open it up again and test them out. I put my brave face on, grabbed a piece of printer paper (totally clueless) and watched a few how-to videos online. As I watched how the artist in the videos blended and layered the pastels, I thought to myself: "I think I can do that!". Deciding to stop painting opened a new door for me with a medium that really works in my busy schedule.' The second the pastel stick hit the paper, I fell in love. In 2022 I challenged myself in pursuing curiosity with daily drawing, and watercolor paintings. Pushing myself past ordinary, I found a love deep inside me to be more playful with drawing using pastels, pencil and watercolor paints which has helped me to uncover my authentic creative self. The freedom I feel with the flow of watercolor paints makes my soul sing. Learn More About Sharon Ferreira Creating Art is about Creating Magic.
