About the Artist
Artist Sharon Sieben creates emotive paintings that emphasize feelings and impressions over the strict representation of details. “I have always felt that creating a realistic piece of art deprives the viewer of experiencing the mood the artist has created,†says Sharon. She finds delight in portraying lively urban scenes and the subtle gestures of people through her loose and expressive style. She begins her artistic process with charcoal sketches, followed by layers of paint to achieve textures. For her figurative works, she lets her memory bank of faces guide her paintbrush, capturing the essence of each subject. In her small yet cozy studio, Sharon works alongside her parakeet, Oscar, who frequently sits on her shoulder while they both listen to quartet music. In her free time, Sharon finds joy in reading, playing classical guitar, and sharing moments with her pet bird.

Sharon Sieben
Prolific contemporary painter Sharon Sieben regards her artistic process as a form of communication, with the viewer and as an inner dialogue with herself. She is known for her Abstract Expressionist paintings that use bold splashes of color and a loose, fluid technique.
Born in Indiana in 1934, Sieben enjoyed a creative childhood, painting and playing music. As an adult, her artistic proclivities were put aside when she focused on a career in manufacturing operations and raising a family.
In later years, Sieben returned to her passion for art. She is largely self-taught, with her inspiration coming from her world travels, in which she learns from fellow artists’ workshops and through viewing the work of Impressionist artists such as Paul Cézanne.
When creating her abstract figurative paintings, nudes and landscapes, Sieben prefers working with oil paint but also incorporates other materials such as acrylics, gouache, charcoal and graphite. Recently, Sieben has explored watercolors, as demonstrated in her contemplative watercolor paintings Moment in the Sun and Depleted.
Sieben’s paintings have been exhibited throughout the United States in galleries and at venues including the New York Expo, the World Showcase of Arts in Las Vegas and the Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior, Arizona.
She is currently based in Mesa, Arizona, where she continues to create vibrant and imaginative work.
