Sharon is a Studio Art and Computer Science major from Atlanta, GA. She was doodling and drawing before she could even write and spent most of her childhood drawing, painting, and building toys from found objects. Although most of her childhood was spent on creative expression, she didn’t get a chance to fully explore this avenue until she was accidentally placed in an art class in high school. Sharon realized that her passion lay within the walls of this cluttered, colorful classroom and went on to become an officer of the National Arts Honors Society and attend the Georgia Governor’s Honors Program as an art major. Now at UVa, Sharon has been able to explore even more mediums such as photography and sculpture. Although acrylic painting has always been her medium of choice, she has become invested in expanding her creative abilities by experimenting within these classes. She hopes to further her experience and excitement for studio art through her classmates and now through being a Miller Arts Scholar.
