About Canadian Fine Artist, Sharka Leigh
|
Sharka paints in acrylic with varied subject matter, though she often focuses on her favourite subject, cows, because they make people smile.
If someone comes into her studio and leaves with a smile on their face, Sharka's done her job.
Cows are fun to be around and their personality shows through every time. But, if Sharka gets “stuck”, she tries something new. Her art is a journey.
Bold and bright colours are her preference, and she also likes to inspire others through teaching. To see someone start with a blank canvas and finish their own masterpiece is its own reward.
Sharka's studio is open by appointment.
