Original Art work by Sharon Volschenk
Sharon Volschenk migrated from South
Africa to Australia in 2009. She currently lives in Brisbane. Sharon is married
and has three adult children. She studied Fine Arts at Johannesburg College of
Art (in South Africa) before qualifying as a Special Needs Teacher. Sharon
loves the vibrancy of acrylic paint, as clearly seen in her colourful
work.
Sharon has always been inspired by
the vibe, colour and sounds of Africa. She says: “ I love painting people and animals, but I
paint anything really, it just depends on what I’m inspired by at the time.
I’ve painted landscapes, flowers and many other things. I just love to paint… I
really can’t live without painting!” Other creative interests include pencil sketching
and ceramics. She also does murals, portraits and other
commission work. You can find her work hanging at Site Cafe in Banyo for the month of February.
What inspires you to create?
Anything really, people situations, emotions ...also depends on my mood.
What are your hopes for the future?
To keep on creating...painting is my 1st love but I
also love ceramics and I would like to try my hand at mosaic in the near
