Sharon Wilkes
Artist of the Month, August 
Opening Reception- TBA 
 
Born in Seattle and living in New York City, San Francisco and Santa Fe before settling in Denver, my art is an expression of what I experienced and what happened to me in those locales.  My art has nothing to do with logic, but is an expression of pure emotion.  My mind is initially a blank when I pick up a brush.  I let my feelings direct my strokes.  I also photograph animals in unusual poses.
 
I graduated from the University of Washington and did graduate work at Colorado State University.  I have travelled in Europe and Hong Kong.  I retired from Metro State University and worked as an Internship Coordinator representing students majoring in Art, Marketing, Engineering, Industrial Design, Political Science and Management.
