About Me
My Background
As a young woman, traveling back and forth to Paris, I always wanted to paint. I am a visual person, and living abroad, every street corner, every face, every dog sitting at the feet of its master in a small cafe, was a painting waiting to happen. I loved working with acrylics: mixing colors, building textures, working with brushes, especially my hands. My paintings are proudly displayed in homes and offices in Paris, NYC, LA and New Orleans.
My Medium
Back in New York, my painting stopped. I no longer had the luxury of space, and so a new idea was born. Abandoning my paints, tools, and canvas, I discovered the world of photo art, with apps, IPads and yes some degree of painting with my fingers. I have named my new endeavor FOTO ART: "Creating Forever Memories."
My Inspiration
My inspiration comes from the photos my clients send me to work on, portraits, families, pets children. almost any subject can become a work of art, a keepsake, something that can be displayed, not tucked away in a draw. Foto Art is applicable to canvas, note cards, holiday cards and is even being used by some as a new banner for their social media, websites, etc. And as you can see it will put a smile on your face.
Send me your favorite photo and let's create a "forever memory" together! Foto Art, the perfect personalized, unique gift for all occasions. Order today!
TESTIMONIALS
I am a professional photographer and recommend Sharon’s artwork to all my portrait clients. Her artwork gives people a “work of art” of themselves to forever cherish. A fantastic way to take advantage of a great portrait photo!

Imagine having your favorite photo transformed into a "work of
art" with Sharon's photo-technologies. Each rendering is done
with love, patience and an "artist's eye" to insure a result that
is pure magic. I love what Sharon did with my photo, which is
now installed as a banner photo on my Facebook page.
Have fun and enjoy!

I am not one to ever be speechless but when I received my beautiful painting as my 50th birthday present, I was absolutely stunned.
Never have I seen such creativity and beauty come to life in a painting. I remember saying to Sharon, “thank you for making me look so beautiful”.
It was evident that Sharon poured her heart into that painting, and it was by far, one of the best gifts I have ever received.
