I am interested in working with art that engages the unknown and accepts imperfection. Paintings that explore the messy growth that takes over when we stop trying to control everything and the tension that emerges between the familiar and the unfamiliar, the organic and the geometric, the oceanic and the urban. Choices, contradictions and acceptance: acceptance of beauty in all things, in all stages, and the fears and the truths that we live with.
BIO:
Sharon McGauley left college with a degree in zoology and an interest in combining this with a life as an artist. She moved to Key West to teach marine biology, and eventually opened a little art studio/gallery called The Lemonade Stand Art Studio. She lived and worked in Key West for six years, painting in the studio and exploring the islands. In 2005 she moved to Maui, Hawaii, where her paintings are shown at Viewpoints Gallery in Makawao (www.viewpointsgallerymaui.com). She also does photography (www.mcgauleyphotography.com) and is currently living in Portland, Maine.
