THE WORD & IMAGE GALLERY EXHIBIT OPENING: YOLANDA SHARPE

September 3, 2017 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Exhibit runs September 3rd – 22nd, 3- 5pm

YOLANDA SHARPE, ONEONTA, NY VISUAL ARTIST
http://www.yolandasharpe.com

YOLANDA SHARPE grew up in Detroit, Michigan and relocated to upstate New York, where she has resided since 1987. Within the last few years, the work—especially the encaustic paintings, revealed a creative energy that was shaped by her formative years in Michigan when she studied painting and printmaking at Wayne State University in graduate school in Detroit. Some of her encaustic paintings try to capture Detroit’s beauty, decay, and re-ruralization. There is a shift now in focus that appears evident in her latest encaustic paintings, and she is not sure what to say about them other than that they reflect the combined urban/rural area where she presently lives in Oneonta. Sharpe is a mid-career contemporary artist whose work can be found in public and private collections. The encaustic paintings, pen and ink drawings, and watercolor paintings represent her range of creative interests. All of her artworks are compatible for residential and corporate spaces. Also, she collaborates with designers and architects to provide art for the abovementioned spaces, and develop new works for corporate commissions.
