With the incredible success of my abstract guitars have come requests. Can you do a violin? A saxophone? A banjo? I created a beautiful violin two days ago and was inspired to keep going. The french horn is a work of art in and of itself. I love the circular patterns and detail. Music is as much an anchor in my life as artwork. I play tunes when I paint or create on the computer. Some days it might be rock and roll or country. 80’s music is also a favorite. But many days it is classical.  Just the sound of the musical instruments and nothing more…..

Music…My First Love….

I am certainly no Aphrodite, but my first love is music too.  A lot of my art reflects my natural rhythmic thinking. Patterns that move and flow.  I grew up with the sounds of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.  Later when my family moved to the country I was introduced to the sounds of Marty Robbins and Charlie Rich.  I love all music….classic rock….country….classical…50’s….60’s….70’s…80’s….contemporary pop and even some rap.  When I am painting, I am always listening to music. Sometimes I dance around with the paint brushes.  At other times I am sitting still…concentrating.  It is in these times of stillness that I prefer simple music…an acoustic guitar….a piano…solo.  Perhaps a solo guitar or just the sound of piano is to music what abstract is to art.

Making Music

I’ve been making music again.

 Visual chords.

Playing hues.

Colorful explosions of eye candy.

My instruments do…

Make sound.

But only the soul can hear it.

A Good Surprise!!

Hello Sharon,

We now have your work on our walls. Congrats to us!

Lovely to have you as part of RB and hope you have a great holiday season. 

Martin (RB’s CEO) (Redbubble’s Jared holding my art)

Every artist is excited to see that they have sold a piece of artwork.  But it was especially rewarding to learn that out of the thousands and thousands (or as they say zillions) of images that RedBubble had to choose from that they picked one of mine for their new Headquarters in California.  And I got paid in FULL. 🙂  Sound the trumpets…that is cool as hell!!

This year is a year of “firsts” for me.  My first art show is coming up!  But I also received my first royalty check from posterservice.com .  They gave me a really nice advance for two of my guitars, so I wasn’t certain that I would ever see more.  But people really like my instruments and stores have been buying them……so a surprise check showed up in the mail. 🙂  I am currently working with another company who contacted me after they saw my work on Fine Art America. They are marketing me to some really big names and I am so excited about moving in this direction.  All of the really grueling hard work of 10 years is paying off and I couldn’t be happier. I share my triumphs so other artists can be inspired to keep going and realize that they can accomplish anything they set their minds to.  And I share so all of my fans can see that their efforts to share me and promote me have been productive.  Thank you to all who follow me on my journey.  It is your support and encouragement that has kept me positive all of these years. Thank you!

I’ve been playing with music again.  I do not play musical instruments.   but I create melodies for the soul.  I adore the sound of a guitar, the beat of a drum and the vibration of piano keys in my ears, but I have never learned to master any of them.  Instead I paint and design.  To me seeing art is like “visual music”….I not only see it, but I also hear it, feel it and it resonates deep within me.  Surely in another plane of existence, we would see all of the hues of sound and we would hear all of the colors of art.  I seem to already be there…..

Everyone who follows me online and in real life knows that I love the beach.  I also adore anything to do with music, especially guitars.  I decided to combine the two to create one beautiful piece.  I do not have a lot to say about this work as I believe it speaks for itself…..
