About The Artist

Sharon Attaway is a professional artist living in Hanover, Maryland. Her mission is to bring joy to people as they collect her colorful abstracts to decorate their homes or office spaces and as they commission her for portraits of loved ones . She uses a variety of mediums. Her more recent artworks use a process consisting of pouring resin mixed with colored tint, resulting in a layered painting with a glossy finish. Sharon likes to experiment with different techniques and mediums. Her oil portraits are realistic and capture the essence of her subjects. Sharon taught herself to draw at an early age. It was not until she retired from the education system that she decided to take painting classes. She has attended classes at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), Schuler School of Fine Art, and Zoll Studio School of Fine Art. Sharon is having fun in her second career.
