About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Sharon Sieben depicts the tall giants of the Sonoran Desert. Swift brushstrokes reveal the hot and arid landscape with steep dunes and gentle slopes. Brawny saguaros stand solid on the sand creating subtle shadows around them. "It is only in this location that the stately giant chooses to flourish."
About the Artist
Sharon Sieben prefers working in a loose, fluid technique and finds inspiration in the most unexpected things. Her parents bought her a set of oil paints when she was ten years old and it sparked her love of art. She especially admires the work of Impressionist artists such as Paul Cezanne because of how they broke tradition. When she's not making art, she enjoys reading and playing classical guitar and piano. She currently lives in Arizona.

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.

Artist Janet Dyer pictures an expressionist sun setting behind lakeside mountains. She captures the warm orange glow of the last moments of its descent. "Softly the evening came with the sunset," quotes Janet. In her trademark style of minimalist strokes, she envisions Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's iconic poetry.
About the Artist
Janet Dyer doesn’t like to spend too much time talking about her art, as she’d rather be creating it. She doesn’t have an artist statement, the traditional statement of purpose crafted by visual artists to explain their method. On becoming an artist, Janet simply states, “I picked up some crayons and pencils and brushes and kept using them.†She believes the process of creating art is equal in importance to the final product. The artist enjoys relinquishing control of her paintings to find delightful surprises in her so-called “mistakes.†Janet's expressively gestural yet bucolic landscapes are a testament to the success of her method.
