Sharon Rosa Seymour BA hons Fine Art
Contemporary Artist specialising in large paintings on canvas
My awareness and interest in art has been with me as long as I can remember. I was fortunate in having creative parentage and being brought up in a household, in which art was present in all its forms, including music and writing.
As a child I lived on a farm where I tended to rather run wild ; from this I derived a feeling for space and freedom of movement, together with an affinity for the earth and the things that grow on it, and a particular fascination for water and water life. All of these influences are strongly reflected in my paintings and contribute to my preference for working on large canvases.
I now live in a hamlet in the Weald of Kent, surrounded by farms and open countryside.
After completion of my education, which culminated in a fine arts degree from K.I.A.D Canterbury university, I worked as a photographer and designer while developing my painting. I also initiated and run Art Therapy projects in the health care sector. But I am now concentrating full-time on painting.
